Great insight.People enjoy talking to people who share their point of view. Some people ONLY enjoy those conversations. They don't want to be challenged. They don't want to be questioned. They hate being disagreed with.
They treat every interaction like it should be another therapy session. They just want to be heard and affirmed. They love all the analysis, as long as it's in agreement with their comfortable perspective there on the couch. The more esoteric the conversation, the better.
It's part of the Generation Wuss. An article several years ago cited an actual Facebook post where a twenty-something asked for feedback on an article he wrote, then added the qualifier, "no negative feedback, please." Fewer and fewer people embrace the wisdom of iron sharpens iron.
