Often not even worth explaining...

From the generation that made up ten derogatory terms for every race, gender, sexual preference, culture, nationality, and disability.

And then they get real snippy when you say "all words are made up."

"Justice sensitivity" as a symptom of a disorder is fucking wild. Like they really said, "This person doesn't roll over and take all the systemic abuse. We keep telling them it's a normal amount of abuse but they don't accept it. This is their problem."

"We didn't use to have mental issues back then. We had a lot of people drinking themselves to death and stuff but I fail to see any relation here."

Doesn’t matter if they’re “made up”.

The conditions that precipitated those words have always existed. The resistance to creating the terms doesn’t make the conditions not exist, it just means that the disagreeable person can justify to themselves that they don’t have to acknowledge them if they can avoid the words.

IOW, terms can help legitimize. They don’t want the conditions legitimized so they don’t have to acknowledge them.

All words are made up, boomer.

My parents (slightly too old to be boomers) heard that my nephew was diagnosed with ADHD and seem to get it - “I suppose they didn’t know about it to diagnose you with back in our day”. My dad’s blatantly undiagnosed Autistic too.

Thank you for teaching me about rejection sensitive dysphoria, I think it has been playing a role in my struggles, but I didn't know it.

I'm an elder millennial, practically an x-er, so its my first time seeing some of these terms.

Some of this stuff, like time blindness, yeah I get that and am medicated for it. Hours just fall off for me. Rejection sensitive dysphoria? Yeah that's another one I've identified in myself and others but didn't know the term for. I can't say I have it all the time but sometimes it can feel quite acute.

But justice sensitivity? Like, what does it even mean to be NT? It's just going along and not giving a shit about anything except what is immediately in front of you? Is this why I feel like I don't relate to a lot of people?do people just like not change in a conscious way, or even think? Why does the concept of justice even exist if it is only important to a minority of non NT people? I find this incredibly strange. And I say this as someone who probably is justice sensitive, so much so that politics is a big part of my life, but then most of my friends and non-work relations are as well.

Those are WoKe words!

Well, now I have a term for that awful sinking feeling I get in the pit of my stomach whenever I find out my friendgroups are doing things without me. That's a start.

its not just boomers

Executive dysfunction!

i mean, technically every word is made up

"All words are made up"

I am in this picture and I don't like it.

Boomers think the solution to every problem is religion, "work harder" or alcohol. I knew not to listen to most of them when I was a child. I definitely don't heed their puerile advice now, especially after watching so many of them get blindsided circa 2008 and again during Covid.

Speaking as a freeform blob. Roundness? Yes, I have some ot that. Sharp pointy bits? Yep. Little tangles? Ya, a few of those too.

Is this like those "two truths and a lie" things and one of the terms really is made up?

Time blindness is just an excuse for people who refuse to look at a damn clock once in a while and don't give a shit about the people they affect by this disrespect.

Ageism. Heard of that one ?

Could you not use people's age as an insult?

If you don't get it, it's not even worth explaining.

k, thanks. bye.
