we're going to hear those words being thrown around a lot over the next few years. more than we already do, which is not an insubstantial amount. i want you to remember that you are not monsters, or fascists, or scum.

as more and more people throw around diagnoses they do not care to understand and words that they do not see as harmful, i want you all to remember that you are not alone and that the entire world is not against you.

there are people out there who care and understand and are not afraid. you are not alone, and you are not unloved.

dont let them make you fearful of yourself, you deserve so much better than that.

If you do not succeed at defusing the bomb, results may vary.

Regardless the explosive devices never cease to respawn at any time and sometimes that's all a bit too much to handle.

If you or someone you know has ASPD, please be aware that it can sometimes take a great deal of effort for us to perform or even comprehend what most would call "common decency" because we were never taught or shown how to respectfully interact with others as a result of childhood abuse, neglect, and/or trauma.

It does not excuse any damage done, however it is important to understand this if you are an ally.

We are learning.

Healing from trauma takes time.

My personality disorder info site is live!

It's still a WIP, but pretty much everything is up that I plan on putting up.

I’m relatively sensitive to people around me seeing me as a monster. When I was younger and wasn’t as good at dealing with (and also masking) having low/no empathy, it used to happen a lot. Especially because I’m autistic and often wouldn’t know what was acceptable to do or say. So now when it happens it really affects me.

And the other day I made a teasing joke, and my sibling (ADHD) looked at me and said something along the lines of, “yeah, you’d get it if you actually had any empathy.” And, like, that might be true on a technical level, but… idk.

If you actually looked at the way I act day-to-day, 99% of the time, I’m leagues less hurtful than empaths are. Because other things impact your ability to do harm. And even if I was a person who couldn’t stop hurting everyone around me, that wouldn’t make my life worth any less. It would just mean that I would need more support.
