With exposure to neurodivergent posts online, it became apparent to me that even interacting with people is an unreliable way of discerning someone’s character.
Some people are highly anxious, which can manifest in all sorts of ways, from seeming like an asshole, to being erratic and sketchy.
I’m sure we’ve all had situations where we said something, later realizing how it could be misconstrued.
Then we’ve got people with autism, schizophrenia, ADHD, depression, etc.
And that’s without mentioning the personal circumstances of the day, week or month.
Just don’t judge people if it’s unlikely to cost you anything.
Choose compassion, patience and respect. You will never know the plight of a stranger.
