So, I can’t decide if you’re directing this at me or just phrasing things unclearly. I’m not in the demographic you’re talking about, at all, never really have been.
I’m expressing sympathy for people who are lonely and who don’t want to be, because the way you phrased your previous set of complaints sounded, among other things, like you mocking people experiencing that. I get that people are being reactive jerks. It’s cuz they’re hurting. I’m not, so the things they are saying about it really don’t bother me (as you can see elsewhere in the thread).
The fact that you’re just doubling down, saying my POV is “stupid”, you’ve shown me all I need to see here. I’m not angry at you, I just think you have some gross views.
And btw, having neurodivergence(s) doesn’t just magically qualify you to speak for others.
And I’m not sure if you’re saying this is an affliction you suffer from or you’re going to bat for the people who do feel that way, and I don’t care. I’m consistent.
We can do a lot for people as individuals, and if someone came up to me in person and said they were struggling with being around me or anyone else because of my relationship or other things outside of their control, I would work to help them and help them fix that issue, I will not however adjust my behavior when it’s normal, harmless behavior. Fuck that. People need social consequence back, it’s a driving force to make people do the hard things instead of just retreat to their discord group of shut-ins who just feed one each other’s isolation and create a deep well of selfish behavior.
If you’re expecting someone to get cowed into tolerating anti-social behavior just because it’s some performative ideal that others wear like some kind of badge of supreme understanding, you won’t find it here, I am fucking more done than I’ve ever been tolerating people who don’t want to build connection and community.
I don’t care how lonely you feel you shouldn’t react to it in a way that drives others away, nor drives you away from others. Our responsibility to care for other people’s feelings ends where it starts to create social harm. It’s unhealthy for yourself and our society broadly and nurturing and tolerating a segment of our population who have sexual/social insecurity is literally how we’re in a place right now where armed nazis are patrolling the streets.
Once in a while you deeply need someone to tell you to get your shit together. I’m sorry our previous generation didn’t go a good job, but we have a responsibility now to be adults.
