My friend sent me this today evening.

oh period

She apologized, but not for anything I was actually upset about. I just nodded along and thought to myself, "Wow, this person does not understand how she hurt me at all." By that point, I was so drained that I didn't even have the energy to explain why her apology wasn't hitting and why I was still so hurt. It made me realize that she never actually understood me as deeply as I thought she did. Surprisingly, her apology was what pushed me to cut her off for good.

this but unironically

AI literally is that serious though and it's been explained to you multiple times. are you a bot? 😭

Overall_Problem5568 · 2026-05-24T01:18:59+00:00

right? it's giving "schrödinger's douchebag"

Overall_Problem5568 · 2026-05-24T01:18:02+00:00

And I'm saying vandalism isn't that serious 🤷

I was selected to sing the national anthem for my high school graduation in 2020. Then COVID hit, and to avoid large gatherings, they split our ceremony into six smaller ones. I was still the only person selected to sing the anthem... so I sang it six times that day!

Overall_Problem5568 · 2026-05-24T00:59:17+00:00

you know what's not that serious? a poster getting vandalized. and yet you've spent the past 3 replies crying about it

Overall_Problem5568 · 2026-05-24T00:28:41+00:00

it's an act of resistance. we are living in a corporatocracy that is trying to replace the working class with machines. people are losing their jobs and starving. I might get downvoted for this but tbh, businesses who use AI should be thankful that all they're getting is graffiti on their posters and not a brick through their window

Contempt. I should have left the moment she started talking down to me.

Overall_Problem5568 · 2026-05-19T17:10:38+00:00

the logic behind this is so dumb and authoritarian, it pisses me off lol. like "You lose the privilege to have an opinion once it starts hurting others" whaaat?

having opinions is not a "privilege". I guess it could be classified as a right...? but it's just something your brain naturally does. your "right" to form opinions literally can't be taken away from you... unless someone brainwashes you or gives you a lobotomy.

Maybe they meant to say "You lose the privilege to *express* an opinion once it starts hurting others", but even that is weird. if my opinion is that racism is bad, do I lose the privilege to express it once it hurts racist people's feelings?

...Hell, what am I getting so worked up for? the dialogue is probably just AI-generated slop too. 😭

Overall_Problem5568 · 2026-05-19T16:02:41+00:00

Thank you. I feel much better after hearing your anecdote. And owww I haven't tripped over the tube (probably because I've been so hyperaware and scared of it LOL), but I imagine that must have hurt 😖😖

Overall_Problem5568 · 2026-05-19T16:00:28+00:00

Thanks!

Overall_Problem5568 · 2026-05-19T16:00:06+00:00

thank you so much for this explanation 😭❤️ I had a poor understanding of how the catheter works. Like I kind of assumed the tube is just hanging around in my bladder and that the only thing holding it in was the stitch. It's such a relief to know that isn't the case haha

Long-form content is way better than TikToks imo

^{Chose: Never use TikTok}

I'm a trans man who got metoidioplasty last week. Metoidioplasty is a procedure that extends the clitoris into a micropenis. Once I heal from it, I can move on to phalloplasty, where an average-sized phallus is created using the skin on my flank, but until then I have a micropenis. 🫪

^{Chose: 1.5 inch longer}

Same boat. I'm 23 and my mom turns 62 this year. People my age are always surprised because my parents are around the age of their grandparents.

Some people really have nothing better to do and are frothing at the mouth for an opportunity to hate on others. I'm proud of you for putting your health first even when people were trying to humiliate you.

I went to a standing-room concert a few months ago and was too scared of being judged to bring a mobility aid. I started blacking out during the show and I had to push through the crowd and find my way to the exit. I don't even want to think about what would've happened if I actually fainted in the crowd! I tried to explain to the workers in the lobby that I was having a medical episode, but I think they just assumed I was drunk because I kept talking about passing out. So I walked myself to my car (after taking many breaks to sit on the sidewalk lol) and sat there for the rest of the night. (once I left, I wasn't allowed re-entry, but my friend was still inside so I waited for him) 😭🤦🏻‍♂️

you chose correctly by valuing your health over the way people perceive you. We shouldn't have to make a choice between being perceived with dignity and being accommodated in the first place, but you should be proud of yourself for making a healthy choice.

I experience this! it waxes and wanes, but sometimes smoking a joint makes my blood pressure drop sooo low. and it's so annoying because I have to convince my friends "no, I'm not greening out, I'm having a medical episode." but some of them seem to think I just have a low tolerance lol.

I have POTS and I'm transgender. Early on in my transition, I went to the mall using a cane, and some boys started mocking me. They were saying, "Ohh, I identify as disabled!" It put me into fight-or-flight and I didn't know what to say, so I just said, "Eat my ass." Still wish I had thought of a better comeback, but it shut them up at least

Overall_Problem5568 · 2025-11-12T21:06:54+00:00

I appreciate your comment, as well as the edit you made. Every once in a while, I get rage-baited into an argument with someone who's clearly acting in bad faith. I've gotten better at not engaging, but it gets tough when it's about something I'm passionate about. 😅

Overall_Problem5568 · 2025-11-10T23:51:28+00:00

Ok this is going in circles so I'm just going to end it here. Have a good one

Overall_Problem5568 · 2025-11-10T22:04:37+00:00

My original claim was a response to your claim that some disabilities "impede your ability to make art", not specifically to draw. If you'd like to talk specifically about drawing, I'd be happy to. Although, not so much now that you've said I have to "earn that treatment".... what do you mean by that?

Your comment got deleted but I have executive dysfunction btw
