I am reviving this topic, because I have other things I would like to talk about. In my OP, I said that the worst feeling was "being taken advantage of" - and my best feeling was to be understood. I would like to touch on similar things from them both.
Worst Feeling - Insensitivity, Ignorance, Inconsideration, etc.
As someone who is on the spectrum and just has/does other things that are not what society considers "normal" (which true normality doesn't even exist), I feel like I can sometimes be a victim of this. While it is normal to lack knowledge, information, awareness, and understanding about a topic that you are new to and not know much about, I feel like this can cause negative feelings and behavior such as insensitivity, inconsideration, and even bullying/hatred for some people. I am not saying all people let their lack of knowledge and understanding lead these negative behaviors, but it is very, very common. I have dealt with ignorance and insensitivity before, even from my own family (I mean, we still love each other, but I am just saying). For example, I struggle with sensory issues, which includes sensitivity to loud noises. My dad and my brother are practically clueless to this. I can remember the night of September 17, 2021...my dad was about to start blaring loud music in the living room, and I was getting stressed out from it (even before it happened). My dad starting yelling at me (which this type of thing makes me cry) and my brother told me to get over it. Don't get me wrong, my brother can be a very cool and funny dude, but sometimes, he is known to say and do certain things very quickly without thinking. But I digress.
This is why I have made it my life goal to spread awareness, kindness, happiness, world peace, and love. <333 There are a lot of topics I feel like I have been personally affected by (whether directly or secondhandedly) and that people lack knowledge, information, awareness, and understanding on. I want to do my part to alleviate as much ignorance and insensitivity as I possibly can. I want people to be more considerate and aware of people on the spectrum (including me), for example. I know I can't alleviate all of it, but I can at least try to lessen it to a considerable extent. I plan to do this through writing educational and self-help books. Writing is extremely cathartic (even typing this out is giving me a feeling of relief) and I have always been told I am a good writer, so what better way to go about this goal, amirite? <3333
Best Feeling - Being Reminded That You Are Not Alone / Having People To Relate To
Where do I start? I just love this so much. It is one of the most beautiful, satisfying, comforting feelings in the world to be reminded that there are people who share the same wishes, struggles, weaknesses as me. Back in the day, I used to feel so alone, like I was the only one. For example, when I get yelled at, I cry. When I get shushed, I get in a bad mood. These are some examples I use to feel so alone on, like I was the only one to do this. But then, I have met some people on YouTube who are also on the spectrum and people on here...and these people are some of the most relatable people I have ever had the privilege of meeting...
Hell, even Daniel Plotagon's video (I think it got deleted , though, sadly) about wanting to move out and make his own money meant a lot to me.
I do not hate my dad and my brother, but I am looking forward to getting my own place later on down the road, so I can live as I see fit without getting mixed into my dad and my brother's commotion (and vice-versa). Despite being younger, though, I feel like my brother will move out first. No hate, but a part of me is kinda looking forward to it, so I will not have to deal with or worry about certain things anymore, but again, I digress...I will save this tangent for a topic I been planning to make. XDDDD
But yeah...having people to relate to, and in return, can relate to you...it means everything to me...sometimes if I think about it hard enough, it makes me want to cry tears of joy...this is how big of a deal this is for me.
