“Why can’t you just go out to eat without your hearing aids?”

I don’t know why don’t you go hang out with some sharks without a shark tank.

Anytime I visibly flinch or cover my ears because a misophonia trigger, my mom always says "it's not that bad of a noise calm down!" even though I explained multiple times that I cant help it

[forever-hating-my-misophonia]

It’s so weird being yelled at for something like flinching or looking uncomfortable. Like I don’t know if you’d noticed, but those things are involuntary

[librarycards]

If you knowingly trigger someone’s sensory processing sensitivities / misophonia / etc. that’s fucking violent and hurts more than if you slapped me in the face. doing this is a common form of bullying abuse toward neurodivergent people and is enacted by peers, family, “professionals”, strangers, and more.

people without SPD/autism/miso/etc. please not only share this but take an ACTIVE role in eliminating it when you see one of us being tormented this way.

*neurotypical voice* so you almost threw silverware at your family because they ate food and it was annoying and like you were bothered by it

me: I HATE THE CRONCH

[angelmistic]

The first time i met someone in person with misophonia me, he confided in me about how his brother visciously abused him by triggering him on purpose at the dinner table, where he had no escape, because as abused kids, you are often forced to sit.

When he finally had had enough, He took a fork and stabbed his brother's hand through the table.

I was instantly filled with feelings of solidarity and jealousy that I had never been brave enough to stand up to my abuser's in this way.

Needless to say I praised him. I told him

"YESS YESSS YOU ARE AMAZING HE FUCKING DESERVED IT YES OH GOD I AM SO SORRY YOU HAD TO GO THROUGH THAT!"

This misophonic guy fell in love with me.

The first person in his life to ever truly understand and support him.

I told him I was proud of him, and that if I ever trigger him myself he has full permission to be angry in my presence and call me out with whatever emotion he needs.

Because I get it. I ACTUALLY FUCKING GET IT. AND ANYONE WHO TOLD HIM OTHERWISE WAS WRONG.

He was one of the best friends Ive ever had in my life, and when we were around each other, food and meals for the first time in our lives was not complete agony and torture.

People who will understand are the rarest thing on this planet. But if you find someone who does, please hold on to them and never let go.

Anyone who attemps to invalidate your suffering on the matters does not deserve anything except for your ire. Do not give them the time of day. Do not offer them a lick of sympathy for anything they try to say they go through if they are not even willing to at least TRY to respect that it is something you cannot control, cannot escape, did not ask for, and yes they have to attempt to not trigger you when you are in the room.

Accident's happen. But if they know you have it and do it on purpose? They deserve what they get when you lose all respect for them. And if an anvil falls on their head in the middlevof their chewing you can breathe easy because they are likely ending up in hell. Or at least, they probably should.

You do not have to feel bad for what happens to abusive people who purposefully hurt you for having one of the world's most painful and alienating and debilitating and life suppressing disabilities.

Misophonia is why i gave up on food.

Misophonia is why I gave up on movie theatres.

Misophonia is why I dropped out of highschool.

Misophonia is why I cannot get a job.

Misophonia is why I cannot watch movies with cops, they all chew and smack gum smugly.

Misophonia is why i cannot go to resturaunts.

Misophonia is why I cannot trust anyone new.

Misophonia is why I lost faith in humanity, as all too many hippie free love "understanding" types have been just as cruel and heartless as everyone else.

If you knowingly abuse someone with misophonia, you do not get the right to call yourself a good person.

The end.

Wanna know one of the reasons I hate cops? They’re all inherently ableist. When police go through the training that’s required for them to complete in order to become cops, one of the things they are taught is how to tell if someone is lying or guilty. Here’s a list of what they look for;

1. If you don’t make eye contact when they talk to you.

2. If you are fidgeting.

3. If you speak too quickly or too slowly.

4. If you speak to quietly or loudly.

5. If you use too many details or not enough details when answering their questions.

6. If you don’t show enough emotion.

7. If you show too much emotion.

8. If you seem to be sweating or shaking.

9. If you clear your throat too much.

10. If you touch your face too much or hide any parts of it while speaking.

11. If you say “huh?” or “what?” a lot in response to the questions they ask.

12. If your response to their question is delayed/you take too much time thinking about your answer before giving it.

The list could go on and on but these are the main things they pay attention to.

Every single point in this list describes things that are incredibly fucking common for neurodivergent people to do. Each one of these things are most commonly exhibited by people with adhd, anxiety disorders, and autism, and they can become magnified by stress. And you know what’s stressful? Being interviewed or interrogated by police, especially when it’s for hours on end. And the more you do any of these things, the more convinced they are of your guilt.

Cops even continue to use polygraph tests to determine guilt even though it’s become common knowledge that these tests only detect anxiety, not lies. You can’t even use polygraph results as evidence in court because of how unreliable they are, but cops often use them anyways because they are convinced that anxiety and having nervous ticks or quirks equals guilt.

When you have to be taught ableist ideology in order to become a cop, that makes the whole institution and everyone in it ableist. Never trust cops and never ever speak to them without legal counsel present because they will use whatever they can against you, even things that are the result of your neurodivergencies.

I was ok with sunflowers until today

[botanyshitposts]

sunflowers be like i am not one single flower but instead contain many multitudes of flowers but fear not!!!! my petals are flowers too

[botanyshitposts]

apparently the ‘ray flowers’ shown on the outer edge here turn sterile early in development and literally just dedicate themselves to the flower cause by growing one huge singular petal each. i swear to god i reach my limit with plants once a week

Every time I see a post about updog I’m torn between not wanting to fall for it and wanting to help the poster complete their joke.

[tommyeatseaton-blog]

okay but what’s updog ?

[jaiwithanadult]

Updog is a long sausage in a bun often served with ketchup, mustard, onion e, and/or relish.

[yumantimatter]

No, that’s a hotdog. An updog is when a new version or patch of an application is released

[defectivealtruist]

You’re thinking of update. Updog is when you end a sentence with a rising intonation.

[ghostpalmtechnique]

No, that’s uptalk.  You’re thinking of the fourth-largest city in Sweden.

[argumate]

surely that’s Uppsala, whereas Updog is the giant spider in Harry Potter.

[regexkind]

That’s Aragog. Updog is a symbol conventionally used for an arbitrarily small number in analysis proofs

[another-normal-anomaly]

You’re thinking of epsilon. Updog is an upward-moving air current.

[yieldsfalsehoodwhenquined]

no that’s an updraft

updog isn’t a noun at all, it’s a verb; it basically means to chew someone out, or harshly lecture them

[identicaltomyself]

No, that’s upbraid. An updog is a small dog that likes cuddling on people’s laps.

[speakertoyesterday]

No that’s a puppydog. An updog is when the Mets win.

[mistbornthefinal]

No that’s an upset. An updog is the modern version of a henway.

[yumantimatter]

What’s a henway?

[eversolewd-deactivated20250517]

Girls after expressing a personal opinion: if you think that's okay haha maybe
