most of us need to be shown how to be considerate

It’s also really important to build the skill of expressing what you need to other people. You need to be able to say things like, “Here are my pronouns” or “Can we not talk about this subject? Thank you” or “Hey, can you help me with ___?” Because other people are never going to be telepaths either. Sometimes you may think that what you need from somebody is really obvious, but to them it really isn’t. Negotiating needs and boundaries often needs to be stated explicitly, in words, not implicitly, in silent expectations.
