Do you ever just feel like non neurodivergent people want to put words in your mouth and take control of the narrative? It's so tiring and it makes not want to communicate with them.
My sister who is not neurodivergent, came to me talk about a former college classmate, and she said 'What a shame that she decided to just take an easy way to work instead of finishing her studies". I commented her about how this girl never did anything in class yet the teachers never told him anything. Meanwhile, despite me talking and defending my points in class, I was either ignored and sometimes the professors would treat me in such an unfair way. As a neurodivegent person, this has been my reality since childhood. Never being enough, never been choosen even if I do my best.
I was calmer, and I really did not take the conversation thar seriously, like when you are talking about something traumatic but you are feeling calmer... Suddenly, oout if nowhere, she raised her voice and told me that I "shouldn't think like that. That it wasn't an excuse for not wanting to studying" and she even compared me to a little boy she gives classes to, as if my feelings were just a mere tantrum when in reality I was very hurt by it at that time, to the point I had to leave the university because it was affecting my mental health.
I just told her I did not say that, and that she shouldn't put words in my mouth. And I told her that why would she bring up that subject if she wasn't even gonna listen to what I had to say. Then, she just rolled her eyes, as if she did not believed what I was saying, and that I was just "making excuses"... I just stayed silent until she left...
Why do people do this?? I seriously do not get it. I swear to got I'm just tired of this, and in the end of the day if everyone are gonna keep imposing their false idea of me then what's the point.
