I wrote in the original Change Is Hard AF essay that "𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙗𝙚 𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙩𝙝 𝙤𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙙𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙙" and I think for those reasons, people are reluctant to evolve and test their character as they move through life.
I do blame social media for grooming people into believing that inserting themselves into absolutely anything and everything they read is what they're SUPPOSED TO DO. People online have NO CLUE how to behave or how to treat each other in healthy or civilized ways.

Survival is a badge you earn but that doesn't mean you can use it to judge others as weak. Surviving is a choice. It's not a default setting. Your reality is not everyone's reality.
I think one of the fundamental differences between people who are considered neurodivergent or who have high functioning ADHD or other neurodifferences is foreground processing and hyper-awareness of that processing.
Social media is not life. It's a VERSION of life people choose because it's easier, it makes you feel like you have more control than in real life, and it makes you feel more brave when you want to do awful or very abnormal things.
Where is your wound? Projecting your own reality into the outside world and using your preferred connotations to interpret what you see out there is DELUSIONAL.
