Ugh. When you say "argument" it really makes me feel badly. Do you really want to have an argument, or can we be adults about this and have a discussion?
Look, the thing is that I have a negative reaction to socks, okay? That's just how it is. I'm sorry if that inconveniences you, but let's just get this into the open and talk about solutions instead of you listing your reasons that socks are appropriate at this time of year. I personally feel that socks are inappropriate, always, and because that is a feeling there is not much to be done about it.
What I'd like is for us to work on ways around this, rather than to go back and forth about why or why not. You like socks; I don't. What can we do to maintain our friendship, my feelings of personal safety, and your desire to wear socks?
I have been argumentative for a few days. I keep catching myself responding to anything anyone says by civilly telling them how full of shit they are, and why. Folks have been lacking in appreciation of my efforts, for the most part.

I know you think I'm stupid because you make that clear constantly, but do you really think I'm that dumb? I was willing to overlook your behaviour because I figured it filled some need in you that I couldn't satisfy, but if you are going to keep bringing up the past, then let's have this all out in the open, shall we? No more fucking around, let's just let it all out.
What's that? No, I can see you have something behind your back - what is it?
Oh my god, no.
BANG
Cold, so very cold. Why did you do that? You know it didn't really matter. Nothing matters but that I love y
