For example: "Did you properly explain that the reason you don't do hugs is because of your autism?" or "Maybe they don't really understand how bad fibro fatigue is and that's why they got upset at you for concelling plans."

I'm not drawing conclusions from nothing btw. Even Charlotte Reber's book, the behind the scenes look at Dragon Age 2, uses Merrill as an example of when it's a "better outcome" to disagree:

"Merrill is easy to befriend by aiding in her personal quest—but her path is one that leads towards tragedy and self-destruction, and supporting her risky decisions can result in the death of not just her mentor, but her entire clan." —pg. 84 "In fact, Hawke disagreeing with a party member’s actions sometimes arguably leads to the better outcome for everyone involved. In Merrill’s personal quest, for example, helping her repair an ancient elven artifact can result in the deaths of both her mentor and her entire clan." —pg. 109

i think if bella grew up with charlie, she would RESENT renee because the books make it clear that she had made bella into a mother figure to her and treated her like a friend rather than a daughter. i think if she had to spend summers with renee, she would had to have managed trips because renee simply couldn't. and that would make bella pretty resentful! we know that she is prone to having a bit of a temper.

and i think if she grew up in forks, she'd still fucking hate the rain. some things are just part of you, and i think that kind of preference wouldn't change too much. like, there are people who grew up in the uk who love the sun, so is it really so implausible that bella could still look forward to the sunny and warm days if she grew up in forks?

not only that, she'd clearly still be a bookworm. that wouldn't change either. if she grew up in forks, not that much else would change, except she'd have lived in forks her whole life.
