"Interpersonal Systemic Shame makes it easy to see people's laziness, sloppiness, or apathy as the source of the problem rather than a consequence of repeated structural failures. Interpersonal Systemic Shame often involves blaming and shaming people who share identities or experiences with us, because they reflect the qualities we've been conditioned to hate in ourselves."

As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
"Disability" is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
feel like im getting burnout again, but the only cause i can think of is the world just being genuinely awful. even if my own conditions are sort of okay right now i hyper empathize with other people so much that this is just gonna be a constant for the rest of my life huh
yeah it sucks but can you imagine not hyper empathizing? i don't think I'd press if you put that button in front of me, even though it is often painful i get sick when i see a lack of empathy and thinking that could ever be me is disgusting
yea i dont think i want to NOT be hyper empathetic, just like i don't want to not be a communist, but sometimes i look at people who only care for themselves and live fairly comfortably and get a bit envious
which i know is stupid bc the moment something goes bad for them they're cooked, but lmao
