In terms of high school posting, i feel so disconnected from posts about stories with makeup and friendships and parties and cliques and stereotypical goofy drama because I never had a gaggle of friends to gossip to about that shit. But I'm also too disconnected from posts about hardass rebelling, emo problems, loud music and "shut up mom, I'm brooding!". Getting into fights and getting arrested and running away from home and purposely being a loner.

I can relate to the posts about being bullied, but that's it. And sometimes, not even then because it's about someone being too geeky and nerdy and smart. Or talking about being weird but "omg he likes anime" weird, or good old "pretending to be a cat" weird, not "there isn't even a stereotypical label to describe them" weird.

I was emo and a geek and had a cat phase but nobody cared about that, they cared about treating me like shit because I was weird weird, and lacked social skills and was confused on how to human, which turned out to be because of autism mixed with undiagnosed mental health problems.

I never see any relatable 'tism/ND posting about being the weird kid,

Who has maybe two equally weird/labeled by the school as "developmentally disabled" friends (probably should have been a sign for me that I was different since neurodivergent people tend to gravitate toward other neurodivergent people),

That gets taken advantage of by the "normal" "cool" people,

That isn't really aware of social cues, social standards, or social cliques- basically anything that has societal rules

Who doesn't get into real crushes or relationship stuff that isn't exploitation (or ND dating where nothing happens except awkward hangouts),

Who doesn't really get anything ever and moves through school on autopilot, trying to figure stuff on our own bc we don't want to look incapable and ask for help but then we end up super behind and everyone labels you as lazy and "dumb",

Who tries to do things that might get attention bc we don't understand how to interact, but usually ends up with negative responses,

That then holes up inside with our personal hyperfixations in the hope we stop being noticed, but now we're known as the idiot weirdo so we have "no choice" but to be picked on bc we made it known we aren't normal,

And our anguish is seen as dramatic or not serious enough because we're too "stupid" to be depressed, so we're seen as even more of a joke than emos, even by emos,

And aren't officially diagnosed with the 'tism or any other neurodivergency (mostly because "people with autism are smart and you're failing your classes and dont understand anything ever" stereotype) for anybody to be fake nice and pity this "stupidity " of ours, via specific school and social worker orders.

So if you were or are one of those kids, this one is for you. Shout out to all my neurodivergent friends who feel like they can't relate to any posts about crazy high school stories, because yall masked or interacted the wrong way and it made people bully or abandon you , while you sat wondering what the hell you did so wrong. And because you don't or didn't do the stigmatized versions of being weird, something "must" be actually wrong with you because you're even more hated than if you put "cat girl", "anime guy", and "emo bitch" all together.

(Esp to afabs, since doctors were and are still very insistent to not diagnose us with autism and we're usually the ones that get no sympathy as a result because we're just psycho weird girlies to everyone else)

*BTW not knocking or competing with anybody that has the stereotypical tropes of being bullied, this is just a shout out to people who NEVER get noticed*

Dick Gregory: There's 24 hours to a day. They tell you supposed to sleep what? Interviewer: 8 hours DG: So now you got how many left? Interviewer: 16 DG: You are supposed to work what? Interviewer: 8 hours DG: And now you got what left? Interviewer: 8 hours DG: You haven't cooked. You haven't got dressed. You haven't said "Hello" to the children. Sleep deprivation - that's how they get you.

SLEEP DEPRIVATION

Financial Stress + Sleep Deprivation = Pliable Workers

There's good reason why sleep deprivation is classified as torture. Severe fatigue impacts our critical thinking. Cult leaders have used sleep deprivation to indoctrinate and control members.

Tired people are less likely to protest. Tired people are more likely to accept what they are told without question. They have less free energy and time for self reflection, self development or fact checking.

Lack of sleep can cause several emotional and cognitive effects, including:

Difficulty making decisions

Increased anxiety

Increased risk-taking behavior

Irritability

Mood swings

Poor problem-solving skills

Sleep helps maintain cognitive skills, such as attention, learning, and memory. Poor sleep also affects physical health and is linked to diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and obesity.

Patriarchic social engineering & propaganda. It's literally everywhere; an omnipresent influence - sometimes subtle, sometimes open and brutal. But it's always there. Constant conditioning and reinforcement of the wanted social class hierarchy. Keep your eyes open and always ask yourself - are these really my thoughts and feelings I'm getting from this.... or is it something else?

She feels like she is on the verge of insanity, like one more hit will push her into raw unadulterated rage. One more person slows down in front of her and she will fall into that manic untameable fury that she is so afraid might be buried deep beneath the surface. She is afraid to go too deep, afraid of what will be uncovered there, afraid that it might resemble pandora’s intentions just a little too much. She is afraid she will buckle, afraid that she will damage the perfect box she has built around herself.

The solution to cancel culture is more platforms for more kinds of people.

People would not attack so hardly if they had more options. They would simply choose different content to interact with.

But our current setup puts certain minds of people at advantage and then idolizes their process in a way unfair to everyone. People with money are treated like Gods, capable of inhuman feats. Meanwhile there are equally or more talented people in mental health crisis because they are constantly being told they aren't on the level of someone famous just cause society is collectively ass-kissing the wealthy.

Creation is so much simpler than people claim it to be. No wonder our world is descending into crisis with so many people ignorantly restricting who is free to create

This process is also why so many celebs have inflated egos, thinking they are the ultimate best of humanity . No.

Culture is NOT your friend!

What civilization is, is 7 billion people trying to make themselves happy by standing on each other’s shoulders and kicking each other’s teeth in. It’s not a pleasant situation.

And yet, you can stand back and look at this planet and see that we have the money, the power, the medical understanding, the scientific know-how, the love, and the community to produce a kind of human paradise.

But we are led by the least among us: the least intelligent, the least noble, the least visionary. We are led by the least among us and we do not fight back against the dehumanizing values that are handed down as control icons.

Culture is not your friend. It is not your friend. It insults you. It disempowers you. It uses and abuses you. The culture is a perversion. It fetishizes objects, creates consumer mania, it preaches endless forms of false happiness, endless forms of false understanding in the form of squirrelly religions and silly cults. It invites people to diminish themselves and dehumanize themselves by behaving like machines; meme processors of memes passed down from Madison Avenue and Hollywood.”

– Terence McKenna

It's funny when someone is mad at a neurodivergent because we decide to mask and do exactly what someone else does so we can be accepted and it's always something they just don't like but is also the loudest and most prominent part of THEIR personality.

Sometimes it's over the most basic of things too. Priding on video games are cool until someone else is just as obsessed with video games. Writing dramatic, eccentric stories is cool until someone else does the same, then it's cringe. Being loud and flamboyant is funny til you have to be on the listening end instead of the one screaming in people's ears. Cockiness is just confidence until someone is equally cocky. And being rude is just blunt honesty, but everyone else is always just rude.

How're you gonna hate me for acting like you? If it's really that bad maybe YOU shouldn't be doing it in the first place. If you're that insecure about something then don't be friends with someone who unintentionally but inherently holds the mirror up to you. Or better yet, find a personality for yourself that you actually like. Or learn to like what you got.

People who lash out like that because they need inner healing hardly ever get along with masking neurodivergent people.

And another reason why neurotypical people don't like us to begin with is because they're used to being barely tolerated/ ignored instead of copied. "I'm allowed to do it and you have to tolerate it awkwardly and stay in your own lane because that's what everyone else does. Not mask and try to act like me as an attempt to relate and get closer on a social basis."

Do you ever feel like you’re missing out on something because of your shyness or awkwardness? Maybe you feel like everyone else is confidently walking up to new people and striking up a conversation while you stand on the sidelines thinking about what to say.

If this sounds familiar, don’t worry — you’re not alone. Many people struggle with feeling shy or awkward around other people, especially when trying to initiate a conversation. Even though it can sometimes be challenging, there are ways to make starting and keeping a conversation more accessible for you.

Having conversations is an essential part of making friends and meeting new people. But, with the right tips and tricks, initiating and keeping an exciting conversation going might become second nature to you one day soon.

Dalit transgender women are intersectionally marginalized through the “combined might of patriarchy, transphobia and casteism,” says Smiley. Smiley pointed out in an interview with activists Bittu Rajaraman and Gee Imaan Semmalar that much like Dalit groups are reduced to their occupation, transgender women are reduced to the “status of beggars or sex workers.” (Ceremonial begging or Badhai – where transgender women bless people in exchange for money – and sex work are the most common occupations of many transgender women in India.) Both Dalits and transgender persons are “socially conditioned to internalize that they are meant to do only some jobs,” Smiley said. She said that as a Dalit person, the most she can imagine as an occupation is a doctor or an engineer. “I didn’t know I could also become a NASA or an ISRO [Indian Space Research Organization] scientist, or an auditor in the Reserve Bank of India, because that’s the limit of my exposure,” she said.
