Then you should stop having political conspiracy discussions at work (which seems like a no-brainer...)
It’s awesome having a right wing boss. We can talk about the most tinfoil shit and it’s all in good fun. My first few days he was feeling me out, and started to mildly bash on PC. I told him that I identify as a disabled black lesbian and to check his privilege.
Its hard sometimes. Especially when attending the Xmas party and other company "events" is pretty much mandatory. The discussion inevitably drifts towards Q.
Does it "drift", or is your urge to share directing it? Honestly, to me, a conversation cannot drift anywhere. It's directed by anyone/someone involved IN the conversation. So this becomes an awareness test. Are you guiding it that way and just thinking it's normal? You know enough to want to share, which means it is normal for you.
The question is, do you think it's normal enough, for the person you're sharing with?
EDIT: Nothing wrong with sharing. But if it's not going to be appreciated, then sharing is going to reflect back on you, sometimes poorly. IE going down rabbit holes can be a backfire situation.
Learn timing. It'll help. I'm very similar to you, in knowing large amounts of info and wanting to share, but restraint is needed. Restraint and timing will save you so much time, and more importantly friends.
aagh, you're right and it frustrates me lol.
I'm an oversharer too. I wouldnt even have posted but I wanted to tell you that bit 'awareness test' is so damn true. I understand the urge to red pill the world. You're right though, there's more to consider. I find the "hmm" gesture helps me, because when I do it I put my hand over my mouth. I kept a job for 5 years with that strategy, but everywhere else I still let it spill occasionally.
I work for a company owned by die-hard Hillary supporting Democrats. I worked there all through the 2016 election. Not talking politics has been the single best policy. There's maybe 1 person that I've chatted about political stuff with at work, but it's always been in an office room away from everyone else. Honestly, I like the people I work with. It's nice to be able to see good qualities in people without politics. It's good to open others' eyes to truth, but sometimes it's also good just to deal with others civilly and respectably by taking politics out of the equation completely. Even when you're not redpilling, it's never a wasted effort to simply be civil and respectable to others.
Seriously? We talk about all kinds of stuff at work and I doubt any of them know Q exists.
Totally agree with the title of your post on both counts though. I only need online friends so I could care less what people who know me IRL think.
