Psychologists, I would really like to understand why I, someone generally regarded as exceptionally patient, become so immediately and furiously angry with people being blithely incoherent. Why should it matter when I could just ignore them?

I meant: Your goal is to understand and make sense of their point. But what if their goal is not to help you understand? And what if they aren’t sure about their own point at all?

Many people aren’t : 1. As Well spoken 2, as sure of their positions and why 3. Willing to explain 4. Interested in being understood 5. Bothered with understanding you

But why would this make me so angry.
@Goddoesnt doesn't get this angry. He can just shrug them off as not worth his time. I feel like I want to pin them to a chair and make them explain themselves. (I'm never going to actually do that. Don't notify the police) -
Well, this is the “you” part. You have expectations. They aren’t met. James doesn’t have this problem, true. You need to accept that some ppl are less intelligent. And some unwilling.

Well, I can work on that. I'd also be interested to know what is at the root of this being the thing to light my touchpaper tho. Why its so important to me that things make sense even if it doesn't matter - complete stranger with 12 followers.

Yes. You seem a little “obsessed” with those. What if I told you That’s not the important part & probably guesswork? Not even needed to fix it. Would you accept that?
-
No. I'd know it was what was important to me and why I was frustrated. I also already know I shouldn't be because it doesn't matter.
