And you know there's gonna be that one guy who just completely ignores the color coding and invades your personal space anyway. :/

'I can't go back there'.

There's literally this thing called 'Apologizing'. Also known as 'clearing up misunderstandings'. Do people not know how to do these things or what they are anymore?

Reply to TIFU Update: I accused my boyfriend of cheating on me with his dead husband by TIFUWife2

Yeah, I'm more wondering why- and putting this nicely- it's at all appropriate to blast this shit all over a public forum like Reddit?

This seems like one of those things that should /remain private/.

Because they don't actually care about the wellfare of their students :/

Reply to TIFU by getting banned from a club and losing a friend due to my autism by LightningMetabolism

I'm autistic.
Even if I actually go out places (limited due to physical disability) even /I/ would have the damn common sense not to call myself something like that.
I'm terrible with social queues but even I have common sense in at least a generous modicum.

You do not announce yourself as a threat or rapist like that, especially not in front of a bouncer. I'm sorry but how can you stand there and cry 'mUh aUtIsMs' as a cop-out for this? That's not how any of this works. At all.

You don't get to use your mental disability as a get out of jail free card.

Not enraged, but unnecessarily disturbed, tbh.

"An entirely different church, which I have literally no experience or exposure to, should change their expressions that they've literally done for a long time because I'm the one who suddenly, with no prompting or reason whatsoever, decided it looked like Nazism's heil gesture."

Reply to comment by olduvai_man in TIFU by making fun of a kid with a disability by trying_productive

Can attest to the middle paragraph. I'm 25 years old; disabled child (in so far as relation, not necessarily mentally or age-wise) this entire time and my mother was the one that took charge.

Now, after 25 years, things are /actually slowing down/, I'm stabilized, and we're finally able to start relaxing and for once, only a single appointment in this entire year is scheduled.

We're flummoxed. Our entire identities have been about taking care of me. Now we're both sort of floundering and helplessly wondering 'Well what do we do now?' since we've never known a life beyond.. well, keeping me alive and healthy.
