Depressed and frustrated...

I am tried of always being wrong. Holding the wrong view. Not being feminist enough or not using the right wordage....I am tired of getting verbally beat up for using the wrong word. I am tired of being a sh***y writer. I really don't think I can get things right.

I am almost afraid to talk to people, I might say something offensive. :*(

It was liberating once I understood that in fact most people have no clue what they are talking about. They simply assume that they are right. And often there is no right only the amazing ability of NT's to turn things their way. Read a textbook on how to be polite or, for instance, skim through one of those logical fallacies lists to see that most of us are quite wrong most of the time. Employ yourself a few tools and start debunking others
This is of course much more difficult than it sounds and takes some work and dedication. Unfortunately some of us have to do this thing manually. But I believe that this inability to BS around can be a gift as well. It's hard to stop caring but it feels damn good.
