The Horrors Persist But So Do We (im Making A Barn What Color Horse Do You Want?

When you're autistic, it's impossible to miss how much society normalizes child abuse.

I could dedicate my entire life to studying how to interact with people and I'd still never master the social skills that young children are expected to have on command.

Say the wrong thing? That's disrespectful and you're punished. And you don't even have to actually say anything wrong. Pretty much anything you say can be considered "giving lip" if your parent wants some excuse to punish you. But if you say nothing, then you get punished for ignoring. You also have to calculate your response to their mind game quickly because taking too long to respond is considered ignoring. Also, if you're being wrongly accused of something, saying nothing is considered a confession. And even if you somehow manage to say exactly what your parent wants in exactly the correct tone, they'll still punish you for "sarcasm" or "not really meaning it".

TIL Dr. Sigmund Freud was addicted to smoking and failed to quit for good throughout a 45 years long battle that included 33 operations for cancer of the jaw, an artificial jaw replacement, and attacks of “tobacco angina” exacerbated by nicotine . He was known to smoke up to twenty cigars a day.

Lucifer: The prevalence of individualist culture present in the western world is the manifestation of predatory mental manipulation tactics that seek to achieve the mental and physical bondage of the soul for the purpose of total domination. The most significant ability of the human race which has kept it from extinction all this time, is the innate primal ability to cry for help.

Reminder: Being a system isn't an identity or a label. It's a fucking mental disorder caused by childhood trauma. You cannot choose to be a system. you cannot transition to being a system. You cannot be a system without trauma.

We are not gatekeeping systemhood. It is quite literally the criteria and psychological process of forming a System. Systems don't require you to have a medical diagnosis, you just have to actually fit the criteria because how else the fuck do you expect yourself to be a system? Go identify with something else. Make up your OWN words. Don't fucking steal ours! And don't steal our tags and invade our safe spaces.
