i do it for privacy reasons, but am trying to let up because it's pointless and unsatisfying
yeah like, when you say things as they are, people are allowed to judge them and use them against you. if you talk in principles, you can maybe ascertain some greater meaning out of whatever it is you're going through on top of not having to actually confront the problem. saves temporary heartache and prolongs the feeling of freedom.
i don't think abstract talk is necessary ambiguous though, it can actually be quite piercing, it's just that unless it particularly applies to you in that moment it's going to roll over you like a wave. i can see why it pisses people off; my ESI brother hates that kind of talk.
