there is a very common theme of people with mental illness, lack of social skills, disordered thoughts etc being treated like they have bad intentions with Everything they do. literally my entire life, iāve been made to feel like Intent was the same thing as excuses? to the point where i stop trying to explain what i actually mean, because itās automatically assumed iām untrustworthy / escaping responsibility / lying. itās demeaning, insulting, & has a similar effect as gaslighting imoā¦. we grow up doubting ourselves and our intentions, & it creates a disconnect from our own goddamn reality. please donāt pretend this isnāt rooted in ableism.
