the people I know don’t listen and often hear the opposite of what I say. That’s why I have to repeat myself a lot.

    1. Say what you actually mean.
    2. Mean what you actually say.

    For some reason those 2 rules are the OPPOSITE of how normals’ culture wires people to work.

    Normals’ rules are:

    1. Don’t say what you mean.
    2. Say what you don’t mean.

    It’s abuse, & needlessly exhausting.

    Gaslighting is just an exponential-amplification of normal-dishonesty.

      Stereotyping and otherising “normals” is some next-level tribalism.
