you think you can take me seriously, for once?
it feels like i live in an alternate reality where nothing ever matters while it's also simultaneously a big deal. it's a big deal for all the wrong reasons. and it's only "important" if they were the person directly dealing with it. does anyone else not see how flawed this logic is?
"i have thoughts i'm not supposed to have" "but that's completely normal, you are overthinking it. just suck it up"
"i see things and i'm just too paranoid right now" "you are overthinking it, live in reality"
"i haven't felt alive in years." "you are overdramatic, there's more good than bad in your life, what's the point? you're pathetic."

that hurt me a bit typing it out.
i'm sure not everyone views problems this absurd. but it makes it feel like a majority since they're so, so loud. they all seem to flock to me, too. or anyone that's mute, really...
is empathy a lost art? are humans really inherently selfish, unless they learn otherwise how to be or act differently? i really wish the entire system was different. do you think we can all love first before judging them based off of your own bias? your own made up "idea" of someone?
some have gotten too riled up over their own made up thoughts about a person. assuming things and taking it as the 100% truth should be blasphemy. well... that's a little extreme but it should be frowned upon more. shamed, even. it's just not justifiable in the slightest. why hate? why assume? why can't you see the person as is? the truth as it's told?
where's your shame? are you aware we are not the same person?
people thinking everyone else feels the same way they do is another topic for another time... but all i'll say is that they've gone around too long assuming everyone else's experiences regarding any type of health is the same as when they "experienced it".
do you have any idea how much this hurts the person you're speaking to? i hate when people think assumptions about me are true. i hate when they think of someone who's the total polar opposite of me, but they'd still rather project their image of me onto me rather than... actually looking at me.
can i be seen by others for what i am? and be empathized with, even if it's just a little?
