I’m a real bitch about precision of language so if y’all don’t wanna go there with me stop reading. If you’re still with me, I’m so done with the incorrect and overuse of the word “empathy.” Sorry, but not all y’all are empaths. Even if you were, it wouldn’t make you a good person, because you could choose complacency or even use it to exploit people. Like you still gotta make a fucking decision. There’s not a special trait that exempts you from being an asshole, sorry, bud. Be fun if there was but there’s not.

Empathy is a relational skill (one of many) which some people are born with. When it’s used as a big trendy synonym for nice, those who have it are undervalued and those who don’t are problematic.

Big news, guys, most people don’t magically emote on behalf of others. If that really is you, great. But if not, who cares? Like who cares. And I’m talking about the neurotypicals too, ok, like seriously you can read the room, have the most normal response ever, and not once empathize. So don’t let em give you shit. Nothing’s stopping you from being a great listener, or responsible voter, or whatever the fuck is helpful in your sphere. You’re great. You’re fine. Do what you can actually do.

And for the love of god please just use “accepting” or “considerate” or even “compassionate” if that’s what you mean. Those are all great things really anyone can choose to be.

In case you were wondering where I went, I'm publishing my work on Medium now:

so this is going to sound incredibly cheesy 🧀 🐭, but who doesn't love a little cheese?

the traits my friends tend to not love about their neurospiciness or even society are the things that i and to find the most endearing or lovable or the best things about my friends.

Hey, wait! Please stop scrolling for a sec!

Please bear with me and read to the end! I promise it'll be worth it.

My name is Nexys, and I am queer and disabled. For years I have been striving to create the most tight-knit safe space (that's ACTUALLY safe) on the internet, using content creation as common ground. And we're really starting to take off!

But I need your help. Please reblog this post so that I may meet new people and make new friends! My community has been lifechanging, both to myself and to the people within it. I really feel like my Twitch, YouTube, and Discord communities have been making a difference in the lives of some of the most disadvantaged and marginalized people in the LGBT and neurodiverse communities.

We often play games like Minecraft, Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon, and Pokémon, with the occasional challenges and other genres thrown in. Sometimes we even invite our chat to play the games with us! So if this sounds like the sort of community you'd be interested in, please join our Discord Server so you don't miss out!

I'm a small creator, and due to my disabilities cannot hold down a normal 9-5 job, so any support and engagement from you—time or money—is a lifechanging opportunity that could potentially alter the course of my life and the lives of my loved ones. Even just dropping in to say hello would mean the world to me!

But I know time is a precious resource, so if you're too busy to sit in with us but still want to support the cause, for as little as $1/month you can become a Patron or for one-time donations buy me a Ko-fi! And depending on what you choose, there may even be some free artwork and other fun perks in it for you!

Thank you so much for your time! Me and my community really hope to meet you, and we hope that you, dear reader, have a fantastic rest of your day/night! Happy Pride!

❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷����🩶🖤🤎

Society when the mentally ill person shows symptoms of their diagnoses

[agnarid]

Btw people with Autism aren't the "good" people with low/no empathy, and people with ASPD or NPD aren't the "bad" people with low/no empathy. Stop demonizing personality disorders for the love of god.

How to tackle chores when regressed :

Ello!! I’m here bc sometimes I find it sooo hard to check off my to-dos bc my liddol(s) out ૮꒰ྀི⊃⸝ ⸝ ⸝⊂꒱ྀིა

Here are some ideas for folks tht may be struggling getting up &&doing the tingz !!

♡ Print off a sticker chart !! Ik for me having external motivation aka cute lil stickers showing how good I’ve been can rly rly help !!

♡ Bring along your stuffie/favorite toy !! They’re your fren & wanna help u do the thing !!

♡ Play age-appropriate music & dance & sing along while u work !! This can make the thing feel less daunting & more silly & fun !!

♡ Have a kid-appropriate movie/tv show on in the background !! Just be sure to not get too distracted, little one !! ଘ(੭˃ᴗ˂)੭

♡ Ask your cg for a reward if u complete all da tingz !! Rewards can be things like regression time w them that night, sweets, etc !! If u don’t have a cg, thts totally ok !! U can also do these things solo !! ദ്ദി ( ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ )

♡ Make urself a snack/meal first !! Ik for me sometimes the energy boost is definitely needed !! Some age-appropriate foods can be apple slices w peanut butter/caramel, mac n cheese, milk in a baba, etc !! Just stay healthy little ones !!

♡ This one’s may be harder for some, but try calling another liddol fren/someone who supports your regression if you’ve got any !! I’m lucky enough to have this option, it’s ok if u don’t !! But sometimes talking to somebody helps me get up & at’em !!

♡ Play a regression podcast !! This one’s good for those of us tht may not have a cg/regression buddies to talk to !! When I’ve been cg-less these have rly rly helped me !! ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა

Feel free to add more, & have fun bein a good little kiddo !!

This has really been bothering me and I know all my followers are probably plural so this is a skewed sample, but I need to know, have any of you constantly had the distinction between "you" and "your brain"?

If you're neurodivergent and plural use the "I'm plural" button.

For me, the distinction between me and my brain is the conscious, ephemeral me at the mercy of my physical mind, especially since I have ADHD and my brain doesn't always do what I want it to. I'm also questioning my plurality on if I have more headmates than I thought, hence the poll. I'm curious if any others have this distinction outside of me.

I ask that you reblog for bigger sample size.
