I hate when I can’t vocalize my argument clearly so people think they’ve won
like no just cause I can’t get my shit together doesn’t mean you’re right

Same

People think communication ability is in any way representative of your actual “intelligence” or how well informed you are and it honestly isn’t even close. Reasoning and communication are entirely separate skills which is how someone can sound brilliant and fool millions of people without comprehending one single actual solitary fact about what they’re discussing.

All tests should be open book. It’s not like your future boss is going to say, “I need those tax returns finished by noon, but don’t look at any of the financial statements. Do it all from memory.”

Exactly! You should be tested on application of a concept not memory

I’ve told this story before but idc I’m doing it again.

My dad once taught some class at a conference. He gave everyone a worksheet and after watching them flounder for a few minutes on their own he said, “You guys know you can talk to each other and work together, right?” These were industry professionals who suddenly reverted back to that must-not-collaborate mentality when put in a classroom setting.

What part of “PDA-repulsed people aren’t trying to single out LGBT folks as ‘gross’ because they literally feel the exact same way towards straight (reading) couples” is so hard for some of you all to understand?

i really love how the media is getting better at positively representing characters with mental disorders i just wish they more often would acknowledge that there are also other disorders than depression and anxiety ha ha

Neurotypicals be like “Stand out!” “It’s okay to be different!!” “Dont stick to the status quo!” and then turn around to shame and harm NDs for doing anything that doesnt scream “normal”

“its all in your head” bitch where did you want me to keep my feelings ?? want me to hold them in my hands??? put em in a bag??

People seem to forget that idealizing marginalized communities can be just as harmful as demonizing them. Putting different communities on pedestals and treating people like they’re perfect, pure angels instead of people is completely dehumanizing and setting unrealistic standards that are impossible to fill yet standards people aggressively expect no matter what.

In my experience there are two kinds of vegans: the ones who for various personal or health reasons have elected to live a vegan lifestyle but understand that it’s not for everyone, and the lunatics who want to fuck up the entire ecosystem and starve carnivorous animals and ignore the fact that the human race has spent literally THOUSANDS of years domesticating animals for consumption purposes and many of these animals could not survive on their own and would grossly overpopulate if we did not use them for such purposes and there are many species who CANNOT LIVE on a diet without meat.

1. you don’t get to choose how other people have fun.

2. reread item 1.

3. shut up.

I will never not reblog posts about this.

Stop judging people for enjoying themselves because you’re a cold and cynical pessimist who’s forgotten what fun is.

NTs make social awkwardness into such a ~*cute acceptable relatable ~* thing, and while it’s true that there’s a difference between NTs’ version of social awkwardness, there’s a whole different definition of it for ND people that is definitely NOT ADORABLe

When I say I don’t like to be around people, others say stuff like “yeah I hate people too” but they don’t understand I literally get anxious and disoriented around them and likely even overloaded from the noise and the general presence of multiple people

When I talk about having trouble ordering food, they go “yeah relatable I feel awkward too” but I’m already so uncomfortable with the entire system of hierarchy that has its place in a restaurant, (at least in my mind) and I feel guilty asking anyone for anything in the first place, and then I script my order and repeat it internally for seven times and it still comes out jumbled and muttered so I have to repeat myself AGAIN

Like, I get it. Everyone struggles with being social from time to time.
But dear NTs, when a person with an anxiety disorder or social phobia or autism or literally any neurotype that influences their ability to function in social situations tells you that they struggle with something, please don’t assume they struggle exactly the same way as you, because most likely, we don’t.
