    Who is “they”?

    The people saying

    “I don’t want to talk to you about it so i’m shutting this discussion down as politely as possible”

    I’m not sure what you’re confused about - this seems pretty straightforward.

      I understood what you wrote. I was pointing out that you are speaking for anecdotes. You have no way of knowing what “they” actually think, as “they” is no definite group.

        You have no way of knowing what anyone other than you is thinking - you need to infer it. I’m not sure what point you think you’re making here.
