Tfw you realize that justice is not just "a strong sense" but actually a feeling like happiness, joy, anger... It's damn hard to explain to someone why an injustice "feels" bad when they can't understand how justice is a feeling.
bullshit is also a feeling that i experience. its like a very literal feeling that i get when people start bullshitting, especially when its directed at me. they start saying things that dont square with my understanding of the nature of reality and i can just feel the bullshit. i dont just trust this feeling because sometimes im wrong and it comes from a desire to really understand the world. the problem is many neurotypical people just want to be right, so when you disagree with them or even just ask for clarification they see it as a personal attack.
