parents will make u feel guilty about absurd shit like breathing too much air or smth. and it will work too like you'll be laying on the ground years later paralyzed by the guilt that you're breathing too much until someone grabs u by the shoulders and tells u that is fucking stupid. and then you'll need to remind yourself of that every day for the rest of your life to function

The thing about growing up with undiagnosed autism is that you’re a bad kid. And you don’t know how to stop being a bad kid. But you’re pedantic, you hate hugs, you’d rather be alone than attend a family gathering, you play by yourself instead of with friends or family, you make mealtime impossible, you can’t even look your parents in the face, you lie to get out of going to school and when you’re there you complete your assignments correctly but in a way that is somehow inherently wrong. You’re wrong. There is something wrong with you and you can’t identify it or fix it. You can’t begin to explain it. You pull for justifications and apologies. You were a bad kid and there was nothing you could do to be better.

a lot of media assumes robots would be immortal but i think its a lot more interesting to explore robots dealing with their parts wearing down and battery life shortening and all the horrible little failings that come with being a complicated machine. sure they can replace parts but you'd assume you cant completely ship of theseus them, or it'd have pretty big rammifications on their sense of identity. idk. give me robots with distinct, unique signs of aging. as a treat.

don’t forget that it’s your life. it’s not school’s life, it’s not work’s life, it’s not your family or your partner’s life—it’s perpetually your life, for better or worse. what do you want from this life? forget happy, what motivates you to live? why are you here?

why does everything have to be depression. you’re tired ‘it’s depression’, you lack motivation to do things you enjoy doing ‘it’s depression’, you want to self isolate and ignore friends ‘it’s depression’ like why can’t it be a parasite. why can’t i be of a naturally concerning nature. why can’t i simply be fucked in the head. bewitched. cursed. sick of your bullshit. but no it’s fucking depression again

I don't get why people start defending someone's parents that they've never met, like they'd know these strangers better than this person who has known them literally their whole life. Like if someone calmly remarks that they won't bother to try do something with their family because their dad would just respond in this very specific offbeat way that no sane, sensible, mentally stable adult would ever do, what makes people go "surely you're just pulling that out of your ass. no sane, sesible, mentally stable adult would ever respond like that, how shitty of you to just assume the worst from the get-go for no reason", instead of going "oh huh ok, so your dad is fucked in the head, noted."

You yelling at your child is worse than your child yelling at you.

And I'm 100% serious about that.

You're the one who has an enormous amount of power, making it much more threatening when you yell than when they yell.

You're the one who had decades to figure out how to communicate in a better way.

You're the one who has other ways to get them to listen.

You're the one who chose to have a child, knowing that it would be your job to raise them.

You're the one who should be setting a good example and teaching them what healthy human interaction looks like.

If you don't want your child to yell, teach them why yelling is wrong and why it hurts to be yelled at. Of course, by doing so, you'll be making it clear exactly why you yelling at them is worse than them yelling at you. And you don't want to do that because it's a threat to your power.

[homunculus-argument]

I just don't trust parents who claim that the reason their kid is troubled is because they're "easily influenced". Like that's how all kids start out, they're naturally hardwired to be influenced by their surroundings so they'll learn to live in the society they are growing up in. What they are not naturally and instinctively prone to do is to bolt from their parents into the arms of strangers in hopes of finding support and safety. Funny that yours would do that.

art will save you, being unreasonably passionate about something niche will save you, letting past sources of joy show you the way back to yourself will save you, earnestness over composure will save you, the natural world will save you, caring for something bigger than yourself will save you, daring to be seen will save you, kindness not as a whim but a principle will save you, appreciation as a practice will save you, daring to try something new will save you, grounding will save you, love will save you, one good nights sleep will save you
