Not being sensitive and hide it, to protect those other people from the slightest bit of discomfort for them.
Big "i have it worse than anyone else" energy
Nah, but it should go both ways, not only broken people hiding anything that could be slightly inconveniencing.
No one gets a free pass for anything (lots of comments talking about that, maybe here in France it's different? I see nobody getting any special freepass for any kind of problem here, more the opposite).
Exactly. Too many people see hurt people as burdens and they lack even the slightest bit of empathy to be kind to them. It’s such a “push the problem over there” mentality that makes zero sense under any scrutiny. And even for them, since they’ve pushed it so hard, you can see them struggling and not enjoying themselves.
And then they have the fucking gall to claim that neurodivergent people don’t know how to communicate.
The lack of self awareness here is almost amazing
How so? Would you care to elaborate or are you just trying to blow me off and not deal with how my comment makes you feel about yourself?
