This is an article I wrote in response to a thing that annoys me.
Dear Mods: Not sure if this counts as self-promotion, if it is, please remove it ASAP, or tell me and I will delete it.
Thank you,
PS: if you can, do me a favor and crosspost it on other social media sites, thanks
Thanks for sharing this - I, too, especially in the past few years, have scratched my head and wondered how others can’t see the blindingly obvious, as though they have no ability to see patterns or commonalities at all.
There have been a few instances where I specifically thought of Cassandra and mentioned her on occasion as a way to explain my feelings of being ignored or contradicted (when most of the time my warnings or suspicions ended up being correct).
I’ve come to accept that a lot of people just work on vibes, not choosing to critically analyze parts of their lives because doing so would be emotionally painful.
And there are others who may see the signs but don’t speak up because they’ve learned that doing so comes with a lot of risk. Autistic and ADD people likely have a lower threshold to speak up, but may not have the social skills required in the moment to affect change.
