We are normally good at masking bc its expected of us but I am so tired of it. I’m so tired of having to pretend like I’m someone I’m not.
Then when we mess up and let our guard down or make a mistake and accidentally show people we are ND, we get dogpiled or yelled at. It sucks especially bc we sometimes don’t understand social mores, so even when we are confident that we are acting the way NTs expect us to, we can end up wrong and still get yelled at.
It’s awful bc we are never gonna create a more equitable society if we can’t have these types of conversations with NTs. We have to show them that bring ND isn’t an insult, but that’s when we get yelled at or made fun of.
I assume this person is a minor.
I can’t imagine a scenario where another grown adult would yell at another grown adult for being nd. People just walk away, not confront.
I mean I see people screaming at eachother over parking spaces so I don’t see how this is unbelievable.
Nope, I’m in my thirties and so is the mod who made me feel like a dumb asshole.
