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?

This could have many reasons tbh. I suspect because you overestimate a lot of ppl. So expectations aren’t met. But it depends on what your goal is.

And what is theirs? Big fat chance they are different. Voila, problem.

Yeah but that's OK if I can understand that. It's when I don't know what they're on about at all. I feel 'How dare you be confusing to me and not let me get at your point?!'

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)5 replies 0 retweets 7 likes -
Maybe because persisting in (un)intended incoherence is a blatant insult to any sane form of conversation?

But I don't get angry at blatant insults. I just get contemptuous and go away.
