I guess for obviously subjective things like tea this isn’t much of a problem.If something subjective feels objective it might be.
Was this post inspired by any particular example?
I don’t think I’ll give you the exact example. However it was similar to the tea sentence as in it felt “obviously subjective”. Thing was, there was also a bit of social good agreeing with me. A closer example might be if I’d said “runs are wonderful”, Given society thinks “exercise = good”. Steve already felt bad for not doing enough exercise.
Funnily, in my some of my social circles people have had the reverse problem. Friends have felt a little bad expressing that they enjoy exercise. Since in tiny_society_of_mine “exercise = terrible” because I’m fed up of all the exercise-guilt.
That is difficult when it feels obviously subjective to you but the other person takes it objectively. I tend to deliberately just say “I like tea” instead of “tea is great”.
Your version sounds useful if you want to explore why you end up with different opinions.
