You clearly look like someone who can’t even argue. When you ran into someone like Tony who berates you while pointing his finger at you, you basically went stupid 😆. You wanted to stay graceful and decent, earn the support of people who are on the same wavelength—yet after saying a few dumb things, you successfully got pulled under. Now, trying to say you “don’t touch earthenware” anymore doesn’t hold water. They’ve brought out this whole identity-stripping playbook now, attacking your character instead of the point itself. You were just about to say that the retail investor is a broke loser and therefore not worth having a conversation with you.
