Some people like me are very into trying to make a self consistent reality. When we hear something like "My child is PG!" then later hear "My child only scored average on an IQ test, but the test was obviously wrong"; it causes something similar to pain in our brain. I have discovered that not all people require a high level of self consistency. When I meet somebody who does not have my required level of consistency, now, I try to back up and say to myself "isn't that cute," or equivalent. No reason worrying about somebody else's level of self consistency that doesn't meet mine. There are probably people who find my required level of consistency totally lacking as well. Actually, later versions of myself often find earlier versions lacking self consistency, hence I fairly often delete my own posts.
After I am no longer worrying about said person or group, I can move on to the more pragmatic actions.
