Re: people at a relative distance...I take their self typing for granted. And if something about it clashes with my perception, I assume it's likelier that I have a distorted perception somewhere than that they're wrong. (Humility, motherfuckers)

Re: people I talk to regularly or have closer psychological distance with... bets out the window. Maybe I feel protective of their introspective or analytical abilities to the degree that even observations that I would otherwise agree with are WRONG. Maybe I don't respect said abilities and I oppose their self typing loudly. Maybe I oppose it quietly, but I respect them as people and don't give a shit or again assume something is funky with my perception. Maybe I don't fucking type them and don't care. Could be anything.
