It's so hard for me to have a civil conversation about something I feel passionately about, especially with someone who disagress with me.
It's hard to communicate reasoned thought when overcome by emotion.
This doesn't mean that emotion is bad, or less valid than reason. It just leaves me ill-equipped to communicate when clear communication is most necessary.
When you feel threatened, it's fight or flight. No time to find the right words. Little opportunity for civility.
Mostly, the meat of such conversations remains unexpressed, indigestible.
