It can be both. I am certain that there isn’t one explanation for it. What i describe is the feedback loop. What you describe is the initial conditions. Combined they spell disaster.

This is why we have so much tribalism, polarization and extremism today too though. People find their information bubble, gets validated for the shit they say (i.e. emotional support), feel good about it so they post more and more extreme shit and validate (give emotional support) to others in the bubble.

Now you have an extremist movement. Getting emotional support/validation from strangers on the internet is not always a good thing. Even if it makes you feel less anxious. Some people should feel anxious about the things they think about.

How long before the EU parliament manages to sabotage this deal too?

I not only talk about my brain as if it isn’t part of me, I talk to it as if it isn’t part of me.

Like I reprimand it and tell it what it should do. Not that it ever listens…

I wish that it was more okay to struggle, to not always have to hide. I wish people had more understanding and knowledge about neurodiversity, that it isn’t something one can “overcome”, but something that you have to fight and struggle with all the time. We need breaks to just be ourselves and do and feel what we need. Just because I have learnt how to behave in public does not mean that it is easy or that I have fundamentally changed. It is just as emotionally taxing to act unnatural to oneself.
