The thing that's burning me out on people more than anything this past year and a half really is just that it's incredibly obvious that most people live their lives entirely theoretically. They don't actually exist outside of what their algorithm dictates.

That kind of thing is exhausting to repeatedly deal with. The fact that they don't seek to control their own lives, even in small ways, means that basically every suggestion you make, including just "here's something I think you'd like," is met with a "cba."

And, if they cba with that, it's no wonder that they cba to actually try to effect change.

@isaacturnersong me when im late for work

[Isaac @isaacturnersong]

I had an extremely dangerous encounter with time

[Fav ⛧ @Favwontmiss]

what you need to understand about recommending a show to me is that no matter how much we both know I'll like it, I can't watch it until the Neurodivergence Department in my brain approves it. I don't know when that will be, and I don't have any more control over it than you do.

@pingu4ll unfortunately everyone will actually be addicted to seeming like theyre thinking critically (already happening)

[pingu @pingu4ll]

i hope the next mass addiction is critical thinking

Heard a therapist say, "People who need therapy don't come to us, their victims do," and that took my head off.

[freck @frecklesfracker]

Even when I give no negative connotations people do it to me constantly. Feel like I can't talk about anything unless it's happy/bullshit or suddenly I'm complaining and others have it so much worse so I should shut up

[they/them might be giants ☭ @babadookspinoza]

When people aren’t bombarded with transphobic propaganda over many years in carefully cultivated echo chambers, their reaction to learning that someone is trans or nonbinary is usually like “Oh cool!,” “Right on! 👍,” “Hell yeah! 🤙,” etc.

[MAJOR @Squeeze1i]

I think the deepest form of reset for neurodivergent especially (Autistic /ADHD) people isn't sleep, food, or a hot shower.

It's a few hours where nobody needs a response, an explanation, a decision, or a piece of your energy.

[stache X. @ElStachioo]

I find myself withdrawing from every connection, every conversation. Even the faintest thread of human contact leaves me exhausted.

your frontal lobe only develops at whatever age you take measures to stop being retarded.

@ShesKindaALot No sounds pretty solid to me

[normal @35yearoldfriend]

My basic understanding of the world is that many people are incredibly easy to manipulate and things like “beliefs” and “values” prove to be complete fictions when put to the test or subjected to the machinations of a compelling person or process

[Nimisire @theNimisire]

I have reasons to believe that so much of what we attribute to neurodivergence are manifestations of childhood trauma and the coping mechanisms developed to live with it.

[Scoot Scoot ⭕️ @TheEmoFromJohto]

I think a LOT of people fail to realize that a lot of suicidal people actually love life. they want to live, but they're either in too much pain, too disconnected, or feel too much like a burden to other people that it feels like they have no choice but to take the route they do

[Nina vs. the World @ninamonei]

@Snailswithsails I am not on TikTok specifically because I’ve seen how quickly everybody I saw start using it stopped being able to think for themselves. It became “I saw a TikTok that says” so quick and I’m not arrogant enough to presume I am immune to propaganda, so I just don’t. Lol.

[Dovakiin🏳️‍⚧️✡️🍉 @Snailswithsails]

@ninamonei Yeah, the main thing I've learned is, no one is mine to propaganda, and the bigger the ego and refusal to accept mistakes/accountability, the more likely you are to be propagandized or predatory but that's expected

[HeyJupiter @ShesKindaALot]

The level to which I’m infantilized by certain people in my life bc I’m autistic is fucking WILD considering how much of my energy I spend editing myself bc I know they’re not emotionally mature enough to hear the whole truth about a whole bunch of things.
