I am begging you. Please learn about stress/discomfort tolerance. Practice raising it. You need this to survive. If someone online can ruin your day with a throwaway comment, you desperately need to understand discomfort tolerance and consciously, systematically build that shit.
Also! Stress tolerance is such an important skill that having a learning disability in that area is a major symptom of a whole lot of other disabilities/mental illnesses! Struggling with it is a huge part of life! It sucks!
Am I saying everyone with misophonia needs to listen to chewing noises all day? No. But you need to find ways to tolerate it enough that you don't treat others like shit if they make a mouth noise near you.
No, you don't have to read the fic with your trigger tags. But you do need to be able to handle scrolling past the tags without being upset.
It is hard! But not having it also makes you so so so easy to manipulate. That grandma is racist AF because her mom raised her to be uncomfortable around black people and she never fought that discomfort. Trans people make so many cis people uncomfortable and that discomfort turns into bigotry real fast.
Letting your discomfort dictate your actions and beliefs about things is a great way to become a terrible person. Learn. Discomfort. Tolerance.
"There's no thought crimes and no thought heroisms" is honestly such a good piece of life advice.
You could be having the most fucked up problematic thoughts 24/7 but if you treat people with kindness, the good you do is the only thing that matters. But if you have only the purest thoughts and all the correct beliefs, it doesn't matter one bit if you spend most of your time being an asshole to people.
#fandom needs this one
God there really is a Terry Pratchett quote for everything
Discworld Heritage Post
It's always hard reading about the violence committed to steal America, but the buffalo is always like... That's some inhuman shit. Everyone is burning in hell for that one. Wdym there were thirty to sixty MILLION buffalo in 1800, and by 1900 there were only 300 left. THREE HUNDRED. Do you know, can you fathom the amount of purposeful cruelty required to kill NINETY NINE PERCENT of a population of an animal, just to spite and murder the living Native people who existed and thrived with them? All this, for White Power and Entitlement?? Sickening.
SLUT WORLD IS UNDER ATTACK
your problem is you think if you communicate with clarity and earnestness that people will actually understand you
using violence to liberate people from sweatshops, unsafe mines, and grinding poverty isn't the same as using violence to impose those things on people. the idea that violence is morally repugnant regardless of context is a belief that every oppressor throughout history would love for the oppressed to hold

I don't know who needs to be told this, but you don't need to unpack your shit in public. Like, yeah, you can reach out to people undergoing a similar crisis in worldview in private or anonymous channels, but if you do it all on TikTok or whatever, you're just making a spectacle of yourself and you should expect people to react as they would to any spectacle
Thinking of this viral TikTok of a 3× Trump voter who's now deconstructing her support for MAGA and who is breaking down because commentators are saying they'll never forgive her for her past and it's just like...girl, you don't need to vlog this. You don't need to stand in the village square loudly declaiming your sins for all to hear. You don't need to be in public on camera all of the time. There must be an ex-Trumper reddit or something if you don't have a support group in real life, but This Is Not the Way.
Deconversion is a very personal process that you do need to go through alone, but you also very much do not need to go through it with a billion anonymous strangers on the Internet watching you and judging.
#there is no less sympathetic audience than the internet folks#do NOT confess your sins to a bunch of strangers that specifically revel#in the opportunity to indulge in their impulsive responses
Darn
And for the lady, perhaps reassurance without having to ask for it?
