For me it’s been the opposite, the less I mask the more I actually end up with people and in environments where I am accepted and cherished for the person I am, not who I force myself to be to fit in. Trying to do that nearly killed me.

It is important to keep an eye on the blight, Morrowind taught us that

I’m coming over with a magnifier

That sounds kinda dystopic indeed

I haven’t seen a single Ed Sheran image where I didn’t think: “I don’t think this guy likes conflict”. I’m pretty sure the dude is just trying his best not to piss anyone off because he’s conflict averse, I doubt he needs the money.

I mean, code violation rules are there to protect people?

Ask your momma, she thinks you’re handsome

You speak the true true

Alright buddy

True, accomodations that fit everyone must be made, but they shouldn’t consider a natural reaction to being neurodivergent a “bad habit to quit”.

But does it, in the end, take less effort than constantly fighting yourself?

Life isn’t a choice between easy and hard, it’s mostly a choice between hard now or way harder later.

If you want your mind blown, it’s because of lenses.

Most cameras show you a version of yourself that others are not actually seeing when they look at you.

And mirrors aren’t the same either… You look better in higher quality mirrors.

It wasn’t a bad habit dude, it was just your natural way of regulating your nervous system

People who are into psychological violence aren’t against political violence, they simply don’t have the power to commit the latter so they stick to the former.

The seed of violence is the same. The scale is only limited by your access to power.

Anyone who is victimized is a victim, the existence of greater victims do not discount the existence of lesser victims. Victimization is a binary, not graded on a scale.

Social causes are not excuses to vent your pent-up anger at life because you are unable to live skillfully.

My experience with the majority of ideologues these days is that they do this.

They give you a false question which is essentially “You’re not with the baby bunny killers are you?” And the only answer is no, and the only reason they ask you is to relieve some of all the aggression they’re carrying around by forcing you to give the answer they want by posing a false question.

It’s a socially acceptable form of psychological violence. And all it does is make healthy people distance themselves from political movements that otherwise have the right opinions, but are using them the wrong way. Because of their Egos, they’re literally losing voters.

Yes, that’s why it isn’t a question at all but a way to pressure someone into saying what you want. It’s a social dominance tactic employed by dark triad personality types.

Which are exactly the types the “righteous causes” attract, because it allows them to express their desire for social dominance by hitting people over the head with things that nobody sensible would disagree with in the first place.

“You’re not a supporter of Genocide, are you?!” No you scintillating moron, nobody in their right mind is. And if they were, they wouldn’t answer your question truthfully anyway.

My opinions are not so frivolous as to be paraded around for social clout.
