I get frustrated when folks get angry at others for being "not normal". I think "normal" people often assume that "not normal" people are attacking them or trying to invalidate them by being counter to their culture. The reality is the "not normal" person is just trying to exist with what is normal to them. I wish folks allowed more space for others to live their own reality.
@mauve I want this too.
there is no normal
there are social expectations, but where did they come from? Who gets to decide which conventions get deified? and why?
@libramoon Yeah I think the thing that fucks me up is when people assume that *they* are normal. Like, what a presumption to have.
As a very "not normal" person that exists around kind people it gives me major whiplash when I realize that that experience is more of an outlier in most social contexts.
