Okay but how is this our problem? What’s the context?

Thank you, like what does this have to do with me? I’m supposed to be considerate of what here, a lack of socialization?

You’re supposed to be aware that some people were raised to be tolerated and that transfers into their adult life. Always being alone as a child doesn’t help you grow into a social adult. It leads you to be friends with people you believe are your friends but are only tolerating you. It leads you to believe that the people who love you and are around you are only tolerating you because you’re around. It feels scary to ask people for anything because you’re afraid they’ll give you what you want only to get you away from them. It makes you feel unlovable, unsocial, and intolerable to the people you love and should know, love you.

Oh god,I think I need another drink after reading this

“Some kids grew up being constantly reminded that they were annoying burdens and it psychologically scarred them as adults, so we should be more compassionate to them for being insecure,”

“Not my problem, lol,”

“What am I supposed to do, realize that I’m not the only complex human being?”

wow sad

So i just came out to my dad abt being nb, and he said something really wise about names, i think.

He said “Gifts are not obligations. You give things to people, and you hope they like them. And your name was a gift from us to you. If it doesn’t work for you anymore, you’re not obligated to keep it.”

and i just thought maybe other people could use hearing something like that.

that’s so beautiful

Reblogging for people since it sounds very, very wise.

In case you haven’t been on Twitter lately the most recent discourse is that a vegan consoled a crying child and gave her money for ice cream, and another vegan made a callout because she didn’t tell the child to buy vegan ice cream.
