#i hate social norms

[araminthe]

There's something I need to get out before going to sleep:

I don't like people who always take their stress out on others.

I don't like people who always criticize and don't even try to understand other's choices and differences

I don't like people who only see the bad around them, especially in other people, completely ignoring everything that's positive and just harshly criticizing others

I don't like people who feel entitled to give you their opinion when it has not been asked

And don't like being yelled at because I don't agree or understand a stupid and irrational social rule

the thing that i don't understand about how most people's brains work is that, like, for me, making prolonged and repeated eye contact is an unbearably intense, invasive, and intimate experience. the sensation is like putting your hand on a hot stove lol idk like each time i make eye contact i'm immediately flooded with so much painfully detailed emotional information about the other person, i can't help but process it at the same time as i am trying to do something else. it takes conscious effort to not get overwhelmed with that much information, and during an interaction where you're supposed to be answering a question that takes recall and explanation, it's just super distracting and triggers so much anxiety. i get plenty of emotional information from reading people's body language and voice, i don't need direct access to their soul to have a conversation lmao. i know that's not at all how most people experience social interactions, and i just wonder what it's like to actually enjoy or seek out eye contact. how is it not distressing to people lmaoo i can't even imagine

The situation I posted about is mostly funny but I do think it makes me feel alienated from some people (largely certain women because it's my main reference group) dkkdld. Like oh you guys truly have never had to contemplate your gender/enforced gender norms/gendered choices and gendered benefits/punishments, you truly think that all of your choices and actions are simply personal and not societally steered and socially rewarded/punished 😅 like y'all are comfortable with your conformity to an extent where you don't even notice how little freedom there is sometimes dkkdksks

this is my first summer not shaving my pits tell me i look cool and hot and normal

[adiresituation]

As much as I hate it when my mother forces me to shave my legs, as much as I despise her for it, deep down I just feel sorry for her. Because she was also just a young girl whose mother told her that her own beauty, her own worth came from the perception of others. That she would never find a boyfriend, never have friends, because they would all look down at the hair and her legs and find it disgusting, unhygienic, “masculine”. And so she would shave them. Every few days for forty years. And then she would have a daughter and the cycle would continue. My mum would repeat those words to me. The same words that her mother told her, that her mother’s mother told her, that society had told her over and over again that it become almost subconscious - second nature. They are the words they tell every woman, young or old. They humiliated them and convinced them that they were “ugly” and “unclean” so much so that even women now will still repeat those disgusting words.

So how can I blame my mum when it was never really her fault. The whole thing’s a mess. But I swear if I ever see anyone telling anyone they should shave their legs, arms, whatever, I WILL PUNCH YOU. (I’m half joking)

just met some youngins and at one point one of them was so blatantly and hilariously homophobic (whilst playing with toys?) it made me burst out in laughter (HOW does she even know what gay means shes like 5-6😭😭😭😭😭⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️)

...so anyway its now my life goal to make them embrace the gay when they're older to understand :3

[monsterkitties]

olivia is so tfw no gf because shes. awkward as fuck Like That and Crazy. every woman she meets within ten minutes shes talking about something like the politics of fuckin bleaching your asshole or psychologically analyzing them as a person or how the entire whole of existence literally everything IS. a circle.

[songs-ofa-dyingbird]

I like the idea of being a vampire because of the inherent guilt of eating.

Something you must do to survive, yet you have to hurt someone to do it. You don’t get a choice. Even if they let you, even if they give you permission you still have to hurt them. They will still bleed.

You’ll be shunned for this thing you have to do, you don’t get a choice. Their life is more valuable than yours. You are just a monster after all.

when i was young i used to think about if everyone else in the world disappeared overnight, and how nice it would be, because for me, it meant total freedom. i would never have to follow rules for anyone again, i would never have to perform for anyone again, i would never disappoint anyone's expectations of me ever again

public perception on illness has shifted so far that people think i'm insane for not wanting to hug them when they're visibly sick but if they see a medical mask in any context they freak the fuck out
