It would be great if my anxiety didn’t convince me I’m dying or have a terminal illness every few weeks or anytime my body does something weird. Working in healthcare has not helped my hypochondria lol.
@CynthiaCS1980@catherineecull1 Scary isn’t limited to violation. It can be violent, angry outbursts to you or others, stalking, using their stronger physique to intimidate a smaller person, etc. Broadens it up a bit, yeah?
@maintishe Unless they use it derogatorily, why are we letting a biological descriptor offend us? You can tell when someone means it to demean women vs. in a biological/med context. If no harm is meant, then why is it a big deal? Sometimes I can’t turn my medical brain off & I say “female”
@Leigh108Chevaux @MikeJoPro Y’all men really think highly of women don’t you… women tend to be more emotionally intelligent than men. Most women know and use logic & perspective to solve problems. Y’all really do think we’re all hysterical, how sad. Just say you don’t respect women as much as men and go
@CarlashaC18 I don’t think anyone is entitled to a convo, just think it’s wild that they expect people to just not talk to them in the service industry when most of the time, it’s their job & a lot of people enjoy small convos. Hopefully they can respect when one doesn’t want to engage tho.
@CarlashaC18@Hoodie_Milly@savballss@hecubian_devil I highly doubt they’re actually having “full blown conversations,” they don’t really have the time for that. I guess it’s subjective on what people consider small talk vs conversation but to me, small talk is basically pleasantries.
@Hoodie_Milly@savballss@hecubian_devil If it’s occasionally,I get it, especially with social anxiety, but if it’s all the time, then it just becomes antisocial behavior which is not exactly healthy. Saying hello/exchanging pleasantries shouldn’t always be difficult. It’s good to get out of your comfort zone sometimes
@emilykmay In fact, I would go as far to say the parent’s reaction was more “hyper-individualized” than dog owner’s. Expecting others to cater to you & your child when something happens you don’t like is asshole behavior and is a bad example for the kid 🤷♀️
@emilykmay When it comes to safety of both dog and child, then yeah being over careful & strict boundaries are great. This situation has nothing to do with hyperidividualism, in fact the person used it as a teaching moment, which is what they should have done. That was ethical & interactive
It pisses me off that people come to work sick and potentially risk spreading it to everyone else because they won’t mask. Like I know you have sick time that you never use, STAY THE FUCK HOME.
