Neurodiversity

I just apologize to just end it. Otherwise it tends to be like a long, drug out press conference where nothing comes out right for me. In other words, for me it is like this >>>

. Sometimes there are some who want to start or instigate a fight and I am so not like that. I walk right away.

Too many times I have been in a position of defeat, and coming from a childhood abuse situation...it just stirs up bad feelings for me. So I walk away. I am a practicing Buddist/Christain. I believe in forgiveness, turning the other cheek, and praying for other people.

I am not good with words or reading comprehension. It takes me literally hours to read and reread threads and posts. Some I grasp ok, and some I struggle with. Words tangle me up like fishing line. And some folks think its cute and funny, but really it isn't. It is very frustrating, and very upsetting. If you only could walk a day in my shoes. Just a day. Or go and volunteer at a neuro. rehab. center for a day. See how that is. Then you can criticize me all you want. Until that point, no. Nobody has a right to critize or put down anyone who has any neurolog. disorder or disease.

Love,
Andrew

Andrew, I want to say that I never have a problem reading your posts. I think you are a very good writer.

i would like to touch on why people apologise so often, please- if anyone cares to explore deeper the topic? is it due to [or more/other than] feeling like words will come out all wrong in general [once a certain point in conversation has been reached]- or due to not wanting to take up so much time of another person, upsetting someone or even yourself further, past experiences, et c.

how can there be a happier medium, i wonder? where the communication chasm gets smaller, and frustrations lessen?

ohk. time for me to run some errands, and find out about some animal control related matters. hope you all have a wonderful afternoon. i'm crazy for people in this thread

Apocalipstic,

I actually start working on my writing before I post. I have to look up words. I even have people read what I am going to post beforehand. Unless I am angry. Then I let it rip.

Thank you for your kind remarks. I appreciate it.

Belle,

I walk away. I talk to my furkids. I disconnect from here, and go onto my other hobbies. It is only when someone pushes me to the cliff. We all know the experiences. Or someone will say that we are hiding. No, it is a matter of protecting ourselves from jerks.

I think for me it is a combination, but mostly due to past trauma and not wanting to take up anyones time or space or disturb anyone.

I appologize all over myself when frustrated.

Yes it is. I never understood why people would say that to me that I was hiding. Sheesh.
