You like being red! It’s a nice color! But you’re surrounded by greens and blues all the time, and it would be nice to find some other people like you.
So, you look for red spaces. It turns out that there aren’t many, but there are plenty of spaces for yellows and oranges. You share some experiences with them - especially the oranges.
At some point you find a group advertised as a place for all warm colors, so you join. After all, red is a warm color! It seems great at first. People talk about how nice it is to be the color of the sun, and you agree - the sun is more yellow than red, but it’s reddish!
They talk about how they’re the color of buttercups; of school buses; of gold. The yellows sometimes talk about what they share with greens, and you’re a bit uncomfortable, but you let them do it because it’s important to them. Everything seems to be about the yellows. They talk about oranges too, but the yellows seem to care an awful lot about making sure that nobody assumes that all of them have some red like the oranges do. It’s a little strange that they fight so hard to prove that they aren’t like you.
One day, you happen to talk a bit about being red, and mention some of the experiences you share with purples. Some of the yellows are a bit uncomfortable (just like you were all the times that they talked about shared experiences with greens), and ask you not to talk about that anymore.
You’re frustrated. This was supposed to be a space for all warm colors, and you would like to be able to talk about your experiences as a warm color.
You keep encountering yellows with a habit of referring to yellow experiences as warm color experiences. They act like yellow and oranges are the only warm colors. It makes you feel like other people don’t care about you; like you don’t matter. This frustrates you even more.
When you tell yellows about your frustrations, some ignore you. Some deny that anything they’ve done has hurt you. Some tell you that they’re orange, not yellow, so they can’t have hurt you. There are even some who insist on calling you a “warm color with no yellow” instead of a red. You grow even more frustrated.
You don’t want to fight. You want to build a strong alliance of warm colors.
Most of all, you just want to be listened to.
