Makes me wonder if the majority of PA members fall under the more introverted/loner spectrum. Might be an interesting poll. God bless my fellow loners and introverts.

To answer your question Ras,

"I’m curious to know if you and your caregiver friend stopped talking for a period before he called you in distress, at the point there was “no discussion allowed,” or did you manage to remain friends despite that hurdle?
I was able to remain friends with him, yes, same as with my other friends and acquaintances. I am the type to just live and let live as to various opinions, once I make my current stance clear. Sometimes I nicely point out various inconsistencies, but generally refuse to respond to coercion. ("Be like water, my friend," is more or less me, although this attitude sometimes riles them up even more). But with this friend, he and his wife knew my stance, and I knew theirs, and it was clear they were not changing it.
Usually opinions are just that, and "everyone has one", but in the case of the mrna shots it has been emotionally wrenching to witness so many willingly coerced into their own actual physical destruction. (one of my dear sisters being another who passed.)
But I never cut any of them off, myself. When they pressured me, I would simply say nope, not gonna take it. If they asked me why not, I'd answer honestly and factually, but beyond that, no discussion. Some listened. But I refused to budge or engage in arguments.

Bill, I think it was the COVID-19 thread where I read a while back that you felt others’ fear recently.
Thank you
SO much for your whole post above.

This is just a brief reply. And I don't want this magnificent, often-inspiring thread to be yet another one about Covid-19.
But the point here may be that some members have been able to 'see' all too clearly what's happening, and what's coming. Others, through absolutely no fault of their own, just haven't had that experience.
That makes really valuable dialog difficult. My personal confession here is that because I can see it so very clearly, it's hard sometimes to maintain patience with those who can't, or haven't.
But it's not their fault.
I just really wish that we could all have a conversation based on the same landscape we're all seeing. Because that's not the case, though, this is hard if not impossible. In the end, however, the reality will become self-evident.
To align this with the topic of the thread here, the above paragraph isn't just about Covid-19. It applies to a
lot of stuff that Experiencers witness personally, and all too often choose to keep to themselves.
Someone wrote a while back as a comment under one of Chris Martenson's videos:
"Saying 'I told you so' doesn't even feel good any more."
That's for sure! "I told you so" feels horrible. I never voice it, but think it through my tears.
