People being worried about lifespans.
I'm already past the prospect of living longer (fear) or shorter (suffering).
Unlike most people who either just fear death or provoking to get closer to it for any reason -- I just didn't care.
I only care about the now.
And most of my nows are inconvenient.
Would that drive me to hope a little longer or wanting it to end it all sooner?
Reason why I want answers and solutions is to make my living less inconvenient -- not this anxiety ridden distress people are assuming a fricking health scare or some sort of FOMO.
Passing never helped me, that only made them more presumptuous.
Masking doesn't give me assurance, only more standards and expectations that I likely cannot compensate nor please.
In which 'human' is too conflated with 'neurotypicality'.
Yes, I already knew the issue of being autistic and then separating that from being a human.
And then there's that -- mistaking said humanity as neurotypicality.
But not a lot knew neurotypicality can be seperated from humanity, just as being autistic, and overall any form of being an allistic neurodivergence do?
Being a human is something universal in humans.
And that universal phenomenon is not akin to neurotypicality.
No, not everyone smiles when they're happy. No, not everytime a human feels nothing is equals to being cruel and sadistic and dangerous.
This is also why people have lots of misconceptions about empathy and how emotional literacy overly conflated with caring and compassion...
No, not all humans even have social needs. That trait is called asociality.
And no, that's not a personality trait nor anything associated with it is a trauma response -- and that's another thing; conflating lots of absences with either all inhumanity or all trauma.
Oh sure, the latter is a sympathetic POV.
But how dare they assume that the contrary is what they even want? All because of the idea of what being a human is 'supposedly'??
Unlike most people, and more so people in this forum...
... My chief complaint was I'm being too human...
Not lack thereof, not the whole 'I'm not human enough', along with whatever connection like being excluded or not relating to having feelings and caring enough.
And it's not even about vulnerability and sensitivity. It's this lack of control and choices, you see?
Those are the things I had thought and felt to live for.
Sure, while I lack or have less of one or two fundamental need, I have a greater need of another.
And unlike most people whose depressed because of their circumstances, mine is more to do with noticing the motions...
... How helpless being a human actually is.
... How dependent, how choiceless.
... How easily swayed and fragile.
I may already am on the surface, within my natural self, with all my behaviors and processes but ...
I don't want to be "normal".
