My business partner appears to operate based on emotion. I've never had so much difficulty communicating with someone before. Specifically, the more exact, or the more precise, I am with my statements, the less effective they are in communicating my thoughts.
This typically works out where I tell her something about topic A, and then when we are discussing topic B, she argues about my statement concerning topic A. However, her argument isn't the actual statement I made about topic A, its about how she felt when I made the statement, and she is submitting, as supporting evidence, her feelings on my statement on topic A, e.g. "...yes but I felt blah blah blah when you said blah blah blah, and I feel like..."
So.
Learning experience. I mean...definitely an experience. I feel like if I can learn how to talk to this girl, that will open up an entire class of personalities that I will be able to work with in the future.

Also, this shit is why people become annoying food hippies. I don't want to be a food hippie. I don't want to only buy local, organic, vegetarian, vegan, paleo, keto shit that I pack into the back of a prius. But how can I be expected to be a regular person who just grabs food off shelves when companies are bleaching cherries and soaking them in corn syrup? That even renders ineffective that rule about only buying things your grandmother would recognize as food. Bleh.
