i feel like the reactions i get out of people when i mention i was unhoused/displaced as a teenager is exactly why WHEN i was unhoused i never spoke about it to any of my friends or online.

this is true of many things, but i feel like the way the public is uncomfortable with unhoused people speaking of their experiences (yet doing nothing to help them) is such a major roadblock in progressive spaces.

#there are people who dont react in discomfort. usuallyy those people have also experienced being unhoused though.#i feel like this is also the same with addiction and many other things that are often connected #people treat us for mentioning these things as if lost a bit of humanity in their eyes. its sad.#ive even had therapists react with like. jaw drop. when telling them abt this time in my life
