A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

People who haven't really resumed socializing at levels they used to, people who lost the capacity to regulate during interpersonal interactions, people who lost trust in others... I encounter lots of partial returners out there

If it makes you feel better, they aren't hostile to you for your conditions. They're hostile to EVERYBODY. The world is just filled with shitty people, who enjoy making others lives awful. It's also full of people who are just looking for every easy advantage and scheme the system has to be taken advantage of...even at the expense of others. They aren't hostile because of ADHD and ASD. They're hostile because you exist, and therefore maybe can be taken advantage of. And if you can't be taken advantage of, then you're of no use to them.
