I think neurotypical is a dumbass fascist in a doom suit.
Edit: Lol. People are so ๐
If you can't explain your feelings, I only see narcissism.
In life, I only worry about things I can change because anything else is a waste of energy. If you cannot tell me what to change I see a waste of energy and lack of fundamental logic skills; a person ruled by unstable emotions. I have no desire to engage with such unstable and illogical people. I still have kindness and empathy for everyone. I will do you no harm out of my internal structured ethics. I simply will never rely on or place myself in a position of vulnerability with any such person. For me, that instability is indistinguishable from insanity and something I must protect myself from because I have been hurt by it many times before. I don't care for dichotomous logic like fools that try to oversimplify something as right or wrong, such as neurodivergent versus neurotypical. Neither is better or worse, only a spectrum of difference.
Padme: in the movie, right?
Padme: right?
Doom suit?
yeah people who conduct themselves within the moral framework of "act like I expect people to or fuck off" kind of are. Just not on a level where you're allowed to point that out to them.
