I have a "friend"... haven't seen him in a while, but I found out that he
feels that any difference of opinion, whatsoever, is an attack. Not the
start to a conversation, not simply a difference, an attack. But he won't
actually say anything in response - defense, counterattack, nothing. Just
go all glum and quiet.

It's one thing to reply with "I'd rather not have that enthusiastic a
conversation over dinner, it'll give me indigestion." But to simply
withdraw? And yet... by NOT answering the many blurbs we've all gotten....
aren't we doing the same thing?

It's not just a blindness (blinders?) on one side. ...If they do, insult and
leave in a huff.
