Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

People really ought to take into consideration the person they're talking to, rather than apply the cultural norms they hold for themselves onto something as minute as tone implied by punctuation.
Explain this to a person with social anxiety.
I totally don't have social anxiety /s
So be more understanding? Idk
So you're literally arguing against understanding other perspectives by wanting yours understood first?
No lol
I'm saying people with anxiety think about what you said and then also think "Oh god. Why can't I just be normal? Just don't worry about it. Think about it another way. be normal. People know you aren't normal. You just need to reframe the situation. You can't reframe the situation. You're the problem."
So like I said, be more understanding?
You say all this under the false assumption I don't have anxiety. I'm literally just saying anyone can try to be more understanding of other perspectives.
Yet you aren't being understanding that anxiety may affect others differently than it affects you.
Keep on trying to force others to conform. I'm sure it works well
Yup.
How do I know they are being genuine with me? If they aren't genuine, do I need to mask or can I be my free self without them judging me? What would they think of me if I went full, raw self? I could never, they would see how much garbage can imitate a person. I need to be the person they want to talk to instead of me. How do I know they are being genuine with me?
