Looking from the outside in would you say “connect the dots” on yourself?

Well, there’s a difference between patterns supported by evidence and assumptions pulled out of thin air. I don’t “connect dots” based on gossip or anything like that, I connect them based on consistent, observable behavior that repeats over years or long periods of time. There’s a reason we call that a pattern, not paranoia.

So like, if someone “connected dots” on me, they’d have to show a documented chain of behavior pointing to the same conclusion. That’s the difference between discernment and delusion. You can’t invent smoke and then claim there’s fire. But if there’s been like smoke, sparks, and burn marks for years, then yeah, you probably shouldn’t stand near the matches.

I don’t call that unfair. I call that paying attention, Phrozen.
