Why do so many people on SW behave as if they care more about politics than about personal feelings?

@MistyCee Most people where I come from [i]are[/i] personal and emotional, and I prefer the company of people like that. Most of us have no use for talking in third person. What's the point?

@KENZtheFRENZ I like being around people that can talk about theirselves and their emotions openly as well.

But sometimes it's hard for anyone to do it and sometimes it's easier and even fun to talk about something you're interested in, like, say, song lyrics.

😀

@MistyCee I enjoy talking about song lyrics, also other entertainment like movies and TV comedies. Those are all popular topics in my social circle, whereas politics aren't.

@KENZtheFRENZ Politics are difficult these days. It's hard to talk about them with friends and colleagues, because, at least here, IMO, people have very strong opinions, not just about the issues and the politicians, but about how people react to them.

I don't, for example, talk that much about politics in real life, and I like to talk about it here, where I'm not quite so worried about what happens if I get on a soapbox and express my beliefs and thoughts.

Then again, I like to talk here with people who are different than my social circle in real life. So, there's that.
