    “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.”

      What disorder are you referring to? I tried to look this up, and justice sensitivity just seems to be a personality characteristic. There are also lots of websites talking about its link to ADHD and autism, but AFAIK it’s not a symptom of either.

      I absolutely agree, although I wonder if it’s sorta like “hypervigilance”. Vigilance and keen observation are fantastic!

      But there’s also a point where it interferes with your life because it’s freaking exhausting and you just can’t…stop…noticing…every…little…thing…

      Maybe that’s what they mean, assuming in good faith they’re not being all 1984 about it…

      Although it does feel like the mental health “industry” trend of pushing the onus on the individual who, may simply be reacting normally to a completely chaotic, absurd, often bleak environment.

    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.

    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.

    edit: I’ve engaged enough here.

        Hard disagree. It’s a generation. If people used zoomer or millennial in the same disparaging way in a meme, they’d be lambasted.

          Yeah baby boomers are a generation, but not all baby boomers have a boomer mentality. I know some Gen X, some millennials and some zoomers that do too.

            I’m familiar with the argument. And yet it is an age descriptor used as a pejorative. But no one cares because its just old people, right?

              Well, maybe “old people” should have stopped fucking everything up for everyone about 50 years ago. Fuck em

                So if someone called a gay person f-slur, its okay because words have different meanings. Got it.

              a mindset from a different time has little to do with age and more to do with the environment they grew up in. If a baby boomer time traveled from when they were 20 to now they would still be a boomer.

      The last characteristic you are allowed to freely attack. It’s rampant online and they don’t even know they’re doing it .
