It always seems to trigger emotional responses when that's not my intention. I make observations — and yes, they are very opinionated — but I don't make claims. A post of mine from yesterday seemed to generate some hostility towards me when I initially stressed my objective was not to offend. I even stressed at least three times that I had nothing against the subject in question, just that it was based in the imagination rather than neurology; therefore, incompatible with and irrespective of reality. Would a community of nuns be taken seriously if half of them claimed to be Sister Bertrille?
I've been a student of psychology and sociology for years. Everywhere I go is a social experiment to me. I'm always observing personalities, interactions, and behavior. Living with an autism disorder interferes with an initial sense of empathy, so understanding human behavior takes precedence over relating. If something doesn't make sense to me then it bothers me, and I don't find it very easy to leave it be. The last thing I am, though, is hateful. If I said something was delusional I actually mean from a psychological perspective; not as slander. Delusion doesn't make anyone stupid or bad; it's just an unfortunate function of the brain. Merriam definition:
"a persistent false psychotic belief regarding the self or persons or objects outside the self that is maintained despite indisputable evidence to the contrary."Anyway... I guess it's back to glittering my posts with exclamation points and emoticons!
