Oh i’m so ocd, i love cleaning. Omg i’m so bipolar today!! Was that a shadow, i’m so schizophrenic 🤪. I’m literally having a panic attack over this lmao. All of these are things i’ve heard and while i’m not diagnosed with any of these (parents refuse to take me to a psychiatrist) it’s so stupid because people struggle with these things.

Basically all sentences starting with "All men", especially relating to sexuality and relationships. Some highlights:
"All men need sex no matter what."
"All men are promiscuous in nature."
"All men want to lose their virginity as soon as possible."
"All men are attracted to big chests."
"All men dread being chained to one woman for the rest of his life."
Now of course, all of those are annoying stereotypes to say the least, but I'm a guy on the asexual spectrum and this kind of stuff makes me super uncomfortable.

-"No Offense but" and then they proceed to tell you the most offensive and abhorrent thing you ever heard
- "Oh my God, I'm sorry I murdered you and your whole family, I have ADHD." Please don't blame everything on your mental illnesses
- "LGBT is so controversial." It shouldn't be. Why is a gay person's existence controversial?
-"Godzilla could actually beat Ultraman with EASE, he's much bigger and more powerful" No. As much as I love Godzilla, Ultraman has much more experience and is a very skilled fighter. As intelligent as Godzilla is, he is still an animal and could not outsmart Ultraman. Ultraman has defeated countless enemies larger than him. This fight would be very even, with no one having the advantage, and if anyone did, it would be Ultraman
-"I'm vegan, and my dog LOVES her vegan diet" No, she doesn't. Give her a plate of whatever vegan food, and a steak, and she will go for the steak 10 times out of 10.

That, and being accused of anorexia because I’m skinny, this was by a doctor, btw, and could clearly see that I had a severe thyroid issue and they did absolutely nothing about it

"You should get out of your comfort zone."

No, I have tried that and it's uncomfortable. Now, you should shut up and make the zone comfortable.

The need to get out of one's comfort zone is coined up by extroverts who thrive on new experiences, hence their comfort zone is "outside the comfort zone".

Not once in all of having known you (even if it's some stranger on the bus) have you implied that you may have even the slightest interest in reading, and this is the WORST possible way to "make conversation'.

People always ignore your mental health & treating it as an excuse just to "get out of things". MENTAL HEALTH IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS PHYSICAL HEALTH. I'm sick of people treating it like it's an excuse.

This is very specific to me, but I am very cold-natured (due to my chronic illness/invisible disability) and so I'm often wearing more clothes than other people and strangers LOVE to comment on that. They've even laughed in my face because I was wearing a coat in the winter? My favorite is when they say "you can't possibly be cold." Like...really? It's against the laws of physics that I'm cold when you're not? But literally everyone does it. No one thinks there's a problem with commenting on how my body works. And I hate it.

"OMG I like totally couldn't focus in class. I'm so ADHD!" As someone who deals with ADHD, has lived with it, and will continue to live with it, it makes my blood absolutely boil when people chock it up to just "not paying attention". Particularly when it's not that they, you know, literally couldn't focus no matter how hard they tried, or how much effort they put in, and they just chose to not pay attention. I also hate all the "ADHD isn't real," "You're just an addict. HAHA just kidding." "Why are you so bad at doing things on time? Are you broken or something?" And just stuff along those lines. I've spent way too much time masking and just trying to survive my ADHD for people to belittle it and make it into a joke

I'm a 37 year old woman and I don't care if people ask if I have kids, but I hate when I say 'no, I don't want any' and people say 'oh don't say that', or 'you never know'. Worse when they ask 'Never?! You're not going to change your mind?' 20 years ago I thought going to work stoned was a good idea, people change, so I can't say for certain that 10 years from now I won't. Also, if I say I don't have kids or want them, that's not an invitation to continue the conversation.

As a fair skinned, freckled person I find it annoying when people tell me I need to get some Sun (or a tan).
Fpr one it is a direct insult that insinuates that I am less than, or ugly as myself.
Also these people are old enough to know that not everyone has the same melanin levels.I tried to get some color a lot when I was younger, now all that skin is old, and damaged!
My genes are not the same as yours. I don't tan, I burn.
