Cute? Me? Thank you ;*

Cute in the way one might regard a hatchling garter snake attempt to consume an entire rabbit. Interest, amusement, and inevitable satisfaction when the creature acknowledges defeat and seeks out a grasshopper.

Don’t mind me, I just really need to tell everyone, ever, that I finally got my diagnosis.

Finally no more worrying about going back to the incarnation of my worst nightmares (also known as a psychiatric hospital) and surprisingly my diagnostician wasn’t an asshole. Also, it’s super late so please don’t expect purple prose or deep analysis.

The one bad thing was that the receptionist was a condescending asshole once she saw that I was in for an autism diagnosis and decided to go out and tell my mom the exact same thing she’d just told me once I told her that, yes, I had a person with me* and that I wasn’t sure about taking the lift**. As in, right in front of my face.

I honestly regret not pointing out their ableism more loudly just to make sure she hears it, in a esprit d’escalier way, though I’m afraid anyone who starts like that has already proven they lack the self-awareness to even be ashamed of it, let alone learn form it.

Well, it’s not like there won’t be a next time...

*Also known as: Having a witness in case they decide to keep you so they can’t screw you over quite as easily as they could otherwise.

** impending panic doesn’t mix well with being in a small, closed space in a place where you’re afraid you may get locked up in. Not knowing a good way out is even worse.

We don't do enough to celebrate your athletic achievements, my Lord. If mental gymnastics were an Olympic sport, you'd surely win gold.

And if being condescending were an Olympic sport, you would certainly win silver.

Fun reminder: "I'm just being honest" isn't an excuse to talk down to people or be rude af.

Don't be lazy! There are almost 200,000 words in the English language, arrange them better. If you want to be "honest", there's ways to do so without being a dickhead.

Save your condescention for truly stupid people who aren't willing to learn anything, even with their access to the internet.

Ross Gay- Some Instructions on Black Masculinity

“I only date hood”

[ex-depressed]

Definition: Belittling, Condescending and Patronizing - This kind of speech is a passive-aggressive approach to giving someone a verbal put-down while maintaining a facade of reasonableness or friendliness. Masked Nastiness Many people with Personality Disorders suffer from low self-esteem and look for ways to feel better. One way some of them try to do that is by putting others down using Belittling, Condescending and Patronizing speech. This is a form of passive-aggressive attack - a put-down typically veiled in fake friendliness, advice, or words of “wisdom”. The veiled message behind this kind of attack is, “I am better than you”. By masking their purpose in this way, the perpetrator often hopes to deliver the attack while minimizing the risk of retaliation or being held accountable for their behavior. Examples of Belittling * "Oh my dear you are looking so much better today." * "This is far too complicated for you to understand. ' * "We're all watching your progress and hoping the best for you." * "It's nice that you have found a friend." * "How is your therapy progressing?" * "Aren't we pretty today?' What it feels like: Nobody likes to be belittled or talked down to. Being on the receiving end of belittling speech is frustrating, annoying and humiliating. Learning to Cope with Belittling: The best approach to dealing with belittling, condescending and patronizing speech is to remove yourself from the source of it. You can't control another person's thoughts or speech, so it's best to focus on the one thing you can control - that's you. What NOT to do: * Don't stay in the same room with a person who uses verbal put-downs. * Don't believe the lie that they are better than you. * Don't take the bait and enter into an argument about what has been said. What TO do: * Exit the conversation. * Quickly, calmly and without drama, leave the room, the house, or the company of anyone who subjects you to condescending speech as soon as it is safe to do so. * If appropriate, offer to take up the conversation again when the belittling speech is stopped. * Get support and discuss your concerns with someone who cares about you and who understands Personality Disorders.
