@maudenificent it seems not to matter how many dozens+ of articles i read on subjects of discrimination. on the "other" side of my mid-sixties, when an earlier mythology might have opined that by now i should understand the world with its human virus, & be comfy in my skin, i am emphatically unable to tick either box. i simply, absolutely, fundamentally, do not understand bad humans. i am utterly unable to grasp WHY so many humans have chosen to get their jollies by being arseholes to other humans. saying it doubtless makes me sound like a moron, & really i prolly am, but i just cannot fathom that WHY thing. i barely understand myself, so understanding others is like, reaches for pap clichés, rocket science. i can only try to understand others by trying to project my own values onto them, which is demonstrably a failed process. i don't see another peep [metaphorically, given my hermititude post-2009] & decide they are responsible for my sadness, my woes, my failures, my not being in the 1%, etc. it simply never crosses my mind. hence, knowing that my outlook is so diametrically incompatible with that nasty thing called The Real World, leaves me permanently confused, & scared. sigh.
