There is a delicate dance between advocacy and talking over people outside your lane. I struggle with it, particularly with my social weirds. I want to help, but often, I'm not the best voice on the subject and I try to remember that. Harm done unintentionally is still harm.

I have a really hard time with this because I have what I understand to be the very common "Oh yes, let me tell you a story to empathize and connect with you" response. I mostly just try to spend more time shutting up.

It helps that very few people listen to me anyway, so it's honestly a saving of effort on my part just to shut up to start with.

..... I do not consent to this bashing of my friend, hey 💕

Oh but hey look what I found today!
