It’s a sunny day, we’re outside, good mood, drinking a coffee. I try to strike a conversation, my gf says its too early for philosophical discussions. I tell her we can instead talk about whatever she feels like. She says she doesn’t want to talk about anything. We weirdly sit in silence for a while. I tell her it’s weird to me, we argue. Is this normal?

    It wasn’t actual philosophical talk, she just called it that. It was a conversation about why people wants kids.

        Haha. Busted.

        Edit: I guess it is too philosophical for early morning talk

          It’s not philosophical, but that might have been her way to try to say “too big topic”.

        Tbh your comments sound pretty pushy. Have you noticed you start your statements with a generalization and an attack? “You’re somebody who thinks…”

        Also, I didn’t get the classification bit. What do you mean?

          Your comments about your girlfriend come off a little like that. I already commented, but didn’t address that because I didn’t know how to. I read this commenter as trying to communicate that, but without telling you, it’s unhelpful.

          It does feel like you’re trying to read something about society into her preference to wake up quietly, but her preferences are as individual as yours.
