People ignorant of gender/sex stating "FACTS" like you gender is your genitals. Ignoring preferred pronouns. Literally causing more distress to people suffering gender dysphoria and ignores peoples identities. Jus because you use the correct pronouns for "95%" of the population does not mean you can ignore the pronouns of the remainder.

People being LGBTQ+. The amount of jokes I hear about something being "gay" in 2023 is astounding, and most of the time it's used in a negative context.

My cousin said the other day “yeah well you’re gay so nobody cares!” Because he got annoyed with me. He doesn’t know that I actually am, and I intend to keep it that way.

The bullying that queer kids face. Like, it shouldn't be normal that I have to deal with a dude calling me a pervert and a school shooter just cause I'm trans, and there should be no question as to who's in the wrong there. Also, our last principal removed the all gender restroom, making it so the only places safe for trans and nonbinary kids are both on the top floor, one in the nurses office (almost always in use) and one in the counselors office (also usually in use). We also have an unenforced limit on how much time we can take in the restroom (10 min at most) so you basically can't use the restroom when ur on the bottom floor of my school, not without taking up a huge amount of time. People just really don't seem to give a hell about queer kids

mental health, more specifically, NPD and ASPD. people like to use the term narcissist and sociopath a lot without acknowledging that these terms are used for real disorders. there are so many words, yet you choose to use the name of a disorder.

Also OCD. It’s so annoying when people say “I’m a little OCD about this” because that’s not OCD and that’s not what it means. It is perfectly normal to not like how something is organized or not like unorganized things and want to fix it. OCD is having a voice in your head or delusions that if you don’t follow rules or don’t do something that something bad will happen or you get anxiety. Some of this could pertain to organization or symmetry and stuff, but that’s not all this disorder is.

And it's not like people choose to have those disorders. Some people just use it as an excuse for their bad choices, which is wrong. Recently BPD has been becoming a little more normalized but there's still a ways to go.

People not wanting to talk. Whenever a stranger talks to me in front of my parents, I will get really stiff and my brain will abandon me for a few minutes. In other words, I don’t talk. And my mother says “it’s not that hard, you know how to talk” and she’s not joking. Like wtf I hate talking, especially to her so why the heck does she force me to talk????

When someone, especially children, says they feel sick, IT ACTUALLY MEANS they feel sick. Not when they’re trying to get out of school or being dramatic. Had my visiting niece throw up in my home while her parents insisted she ‘would be fine after she throw up’

I had really bad altitude sickness when my family went to Lake Tahoe (mountain town in California for those who don’t know) and we were going skiing that day. They said I’d be fine and I shouldn’t be so dramatic. It took me puking over the toilet for them to realize I was actually sick

How damaging overprotective parenting is. I am socially awkward and insecure who hates my mother (not just for being overprotective there’s other things). But most people will just say “They did that because they love you!” and you’ll just be seen as a bad person for cutting off an overprotective parent as an adult because “it’s not bad of parenting they’re just extra careful”.

I don't believe that you should stick by family no matter what. I have several family members that are cruel and toxic and have cut them from my life. Just because it's family, doesn't make whatever harm they're causing you ok. I do hope you can mend things with your mother, but if you can't, it doesn't make you a bad person.

Yeah. I’m just glad I have two older sisters who let me know that it’s not normal to not be taught to bathe yourself until your 10 (and it was my oldest sister who taught me that). That’s when I first recognized the abuse.

Smoll backstory. I'm adopted and my birth mom does this. Not understanding why your kids were taken from you, thinking you were a great parent yet you do not have guardianship over them, and not trying to understand why your kids want/need the closure that you aren't giving them. Before someone goes on about their mental health, I know why my mom is like this, I know the statistics for people who do this and have had their kids taken away from them, I have a decent understanding about neurodivergence/mental health can effect how you treat a kid. But the kid will be effected by the stuff they cant even remember.

i say this a lot, and i fear it’s becoming my only personality trait in this site lmao: but the stigma and bullying i face routinely as a russian immigrant. i get assumed that i’m a war-loving homophobe who will bow to putin at every turn, and i get hate for all of this. I’ve been attempting to change my extremely thick accent so no one really suspects anything, but so far it hasn’t been working :( the worst that’s happened i think is when a classmate threw a shoe at me and told me to “go back to russia, commie”. please don’t assume my politics just because of my nationality. thanks for listening, i love you all so much 🫶

Cruelty. Honestly idk if this is big for other people but just because people look different of sound different or anything people still set out to bully those who are different. Also people hate others for what they are like. I mean I’ve seen supposedly “funny” memes about killing furries or trans and it’s just stupid! Let people be people! Sorry for bad grammar or stuff I’m tired:)
