I don’t see my response as “blame”, it’s simply a statement that not every facet of your experience is necessarily unrelatable to others. This one is pretty innocuous, forgetting useful stuff for stuff that is emotionally impactful. This isn’t a bad thing, it’s just something that everyone experiences.
I’m not a huge fan of the concept of just letting people believe certain facets of their lives are differences when in fact it’s a place for common ground. I dislike that any time humans organize ourselves into groups, we fixate on how we can minimize what we have in common with people outside the group, and fail to recognize commonality.
Hm. I see where you’re coming from. Currently I am really oversensitive regarding this topic because it quickly slips into the ‘It’s not so bad’ and ‘just pull yourself together’ territory.
And to be fair, sometimes that is right. But in general it leads to masking, breakdowns and burnouts which I experienced.
Hence the sensitivity.
I think this possibly makes sense for a Spectrum in general. I would also never want people to treat me over sensitive, either, so there we go.
Being able to communicate was always a great thing.
