I had no cancer, but know people that did and one thing that came up often is that people tend to distance themselves from them. Not in a mean way, but dealing with special needs is tedious and that is often just a cause to not do certain things. Spending time together (no matter what you end up doing) gives a sense of normalcy and can really push someone to keep fighting. Cancer is a marathon with additional sprints (chemo) on top. Not being alone through all of this is a huge help

He’s not just being polite but he made the conscious decision that this store is the one he wants to support because they were willing to lose revenue in order to help the customer.

Uh…if she’s doing shadow puppets, then why is she not looking at the shadows she’s casting but directly into the light instead?

How do they know that you wrote it yourself and didn’t just steal it?

This is a rule to protect themselves. If there is ever a case around this, they can push the blame to the person that committed the code for breaking that rule.

I think you already gave yourself the answer in your own case:

Because I give zero crap about what other people think of me.

This applies to people that aren’t in your inner circle. You want HER to be in that circle and suddenly it actually does matter what SHE thinks of you. You have little to lose with people you don’t really care about, but everything to lose with people you do care about. It’s an evil social twist that makes everything so complicated. High self-esteem is just the ability to quickly pull yourself up when you fall and the knowledge that you actually CAN do so. It mitigates the risks of “putting yourself out there”.

Not op, but I really liked this video, as it explains quite a bit. It is of course a biased video, but still…

You might have misophonia.

Also…I try to imagine kids as little robot machines. They do their thing and they make their sounds like little choo choo trains. This image also underlines that they often just react to things. Input; output. So the focus shifts from the kid to the situation and the surroundings (as does the blame).

Add Youtube to the list…

Never knew they are so hairy…

I tried Chatgpt, but got no result. Maybe you could give it a try. It always asked for more context, which I was unable to give…

Neglect?

Eh…life is an MMRPG, so a bit of lag is normal…

Thank you very much for your answer. Very interesting therapies they are testing and I’ll have a look if there are similar studies done here in Germany. I wish you all the best for your future and really hope, that they will find a way to completely treat it.

Is there a treatment that works? What are they testing right now?

But that cycle is bad for the advancement of society as a whole. Instead of having something others can build on, everyone has to start from scratch and redo a lot of the work that was already done.

Establishing new social networks for example take a whole lot of time. And then you tank them so others can do the same thing all over again? That’s not progress. That’s standstill being sold as progress.
