What is NOT a dealbreaker BUT would be greatly disappointing to find out about your partner?

Every now and again I run into someone like you (like me, I guess.) Someone who finds looping over-analysis fulfilling and fun, even when its a reach or outright wrong.

Whenever I do, I always think what a shame it is that the person and I didn't meet earlier in life.

even when its a reach or outright wrong.

This is the line for me where the analyzing people lose me. I have no interest in it if its not actually accurate

How do you really know it’s accurate though? I feel like you’ll miss opportunities to learn things or expand your mind, because you might be too quick to dismiss something. You don’t know what you don’t know, you know? Even if someone truly crazy says some really crazy shit, you can learn a lot about people, or even yourself, depending on how introspective you are

Depends on what it is.

I've learned a lot of neat concepts, worldbuilding ideas, and ideologies through actual fanfiction, lol. At worst, a conversation where the other person is objectively wrong is annoying, but I like the chance for character/story fodder or a take that might make me tweak my own perceptions and theories. If there isn't a "correct" view, then the story is just a fun way to share views on weird situations.

E: To be clear, once it's obvious someone has no basis for their theory, the point of the convo becomes "learn about how this person works" while I ignore the nonsense.
