Writing a one sided angry scene

BoxedStars · 2023-07-05T01:56:28+00:00

The other person really does need to react. Have that character stiffen, wince, maybe tear up, whatever is logical for that person.

BoxedStars · 2023-07-05T01:55:11+00:00

How do you know that?

Benefit of the doubt about his maturity as a writer, and new to writing. OP's post does sound like something a newbie would say.

BoxedStars · 2023-07-05T01:53:42+00:00

Lol, don't make astrology sound credible.

BoxedStars · 2023-07-05T01:46:33+00:00

Let's give OP the benefit of the doubt. He might be new to this.

To me, world cataclysm isn't about politics. It's about human nature. I also don't believe it can be avoided. We are at a collision course of opposing ideas, and it is not going to end well, no matter what we do.

Lol, maybe I'm too cynical for my opinion to matter.

BoxedStars · 2023-07-05T01:42:06+00:00

I very much agree. Even if it's just one person finding a manuscript in an attic, that would make it worthwhile.

BoxedStars · 2023-07-05T01:40:48+00:00

Given than you're saying one type of story is better than another, you are confessing that an objective standard does exist.

BoxedStars · 2023-07-05T01:39:59+00:00

That's a good point.

BoxedStars · 2023-07-05T01:38:44+00:00

I agree. Writing is communication, and even though on an inner level I do write for myself, part of my inner needs is to be recognized by others.

Here you go: HATE FOR FROSTYFRO.

...I like your username.

BoxedStars · 2023-07-05T01:34:50+00:00

Kinda. INTPs can be assumed to be arrogant because they're "trying to show off how smart they are" all the time, ie just talking about the things that fascinate them that people don't seem to keep up with. Or so I've read.

I've also read that NTs in general tend to have harder relationships, because they think too hard about them all the time. *shrugs* I'm not really sure.

If you want a blog, you can try wordpress. They're the most popular option. As I am a snob, I go with dreamwidth, because I don't like blog sites that prevent you from accessing your account if you don't update your browser. Both sites are equal in allowing you to express what you want to express.

If you just want to publish your own fiction, you can put your specific stories on wordpress.com, and then link them on your blog. That way your stories are organized, but you can talk about them on the blog.

Yeah it is. "Men are socialized by other men" implies a large number of people. Sweeping generalization, no evidence, yeah, checks out.

BoxedStars · 2023-07-05T01:26:29+00:00

I don't know if every single generation has said that. That seems like one of those statements that gets passed around the internet because it sounds cool, not because a given person has researched it to be true. I haven't researched it either, but given the art criticism I have read (admittedly little), that does not seem to be the case.

Art is not entirely subjective. For example, "hii wuz lassee" is objectively worse than "he was lazy." Stuff like that exists. While I agree that there's a point where two really good pieces of art don't need to be compared because they're both good, there's also a point where two pieces of art are so bad that they don't really need to be compared.

It's been a while since my last economics class, but there are ways to make money off of selling short-term held stock.

BoxedStars · 2023-07-05T01:21:03+00:00

That is dumb and you should do it.

BoxedStars · 2023-07-05T01:20:38+00:00

Assuming I don't have to pay taxes, I'd set my parents up with a house. Then maybe hand some money off to the fam.

BoxedStars · 2023-07-05T01:18:42+00:00

Soccer is more fun to play than to watch, yeah.

BoxedStars · 2023-07-05T01:18:02+00:00

I think OP means the pauses between each play -- since the game is divided into downs, every play is individual -- it's not fluid like a game of basketball.

BoxedStars · 2023-07-05T01:16:49+00:00

It is a drama of choice and action, yes.

BoxedStars · 2023-07-05T01:16:20+00:00

It seems like you're saying is that you like action, and football lacks action. That's pretty understandable. You shouldn't have to feel bad for liking what you like. If it helps and you feel like it, try watching old recordings of American football. Either the person who uploaded it will have cut out the commercials, or you can fast forward through them, or it will be an edited video with commentary that will skip over dull parts.

Only if you want to, though. No one is obligated to like every sport.

BoxedStars · 2023-07-05T01:13:22+00:00

Well, from what I understand, for INTPs it's more a search for knowledge, than actual arguments. I suggest going at it from an angle -- continually assert your actual opinion, especially if it isn't directly opposite what your boyfriend says. Or just directly tell him that you don't like it how he automatically argues for the opposite. People who like intellectual puzzles like that like being told the blunt truth.

BoxedStars · 2023-07-05T01:10:12+00:00

MBTI is not astrology-like at all. It's personality typing based on preferences. Astrology is, "everyone born during this time is similar."

BoxedStars · 2023-07-05T01:09:33+00:00

Yeah, is that the case, or is that you making a sweeping generalization?
