Running

[avant-garde]

I wish people understood @Jynx it hurts so much when they don't, it hurts when they don't see what I see and choose to give the benefit of the doubt when I see the signs so clearly...

I think it's unfortunately rare for people to realise how isolating it is to be misunderstood @avant-garde. The lack of the benefit of the doubt though.... frustrating. Not something you should have to put effort into but - would it be possible to ask and advocate for people to try to give you benefit of the doubt more often?

@Jynx I didn't understand the last sentence

[Jynx]

Was a bit convoluted yeah lol @avant-garde 

I was asking if it is feasible to ask people like 'hey, can you please pause and maybe try to give me the benefit of the doubt more often?' 

But also had the notion that you should not have to advocate for that, because you should get benefit of doubt anyway. Hence the first half of the sentence!

@Jynx 

That would require them to have some scrap of humility which is like asking a bull not to run at a red flag

[Jynx]

@avant-garde sigh.... tis true. Those people are what my friends and I call 'energy vampires' cos dealing with them sucks all the life out of ya.
