Ugh, I hate this so much. I've gotten a lot of this same sort of dismissive "Yeah everybody has that sometimes" and it's... honestly made my life worse. Possibly a lot worse, considering my chance to get help came and went ages ago and now I'm a "normal" landfill inferno.

"Yeah, everyone hates phones" Okay but does everyone have to do the "no food or drink after midnight" thing before making or taking a phone call? I've had my digestion wrecked for days 'cause I ate whilst panicking over an unfamiliar (extremely mundane) situation, is that normal too? Idunno if people are just trying to shut others up or to fit people into moulds or just trying to make people feel like they're not weird but ugh :-\

rantrantrant!

If people like you, they don't want you to be weird/unnormal, because associating with weird/unnormal people is weird, and they don't want to be weird, because that's Bad.

This all happens unconsciously.
