  • Well this is different from my experience … my whole working life I’m accused of being the antisocial one because I’m not tripping balls at everyone in the morning.

    There I was sipping coffee and desiring my space for contemplation… and that is the ‘norm’?

    I feel seen.

    You have much faith in humanity if you think that is being done simply because they don’t know.

    There’s plenty of manipulative assholes misusing it and trying to hide behind it to take advantage of someone with it. And you’ll see that manipulation in every group. Con artists are everywhere. Don’t blame the game. Blame the player.

    “Person with addiction”

    It’s too easy to become apathetic when human keeps getting take out of the descriptor. As a person can change so the descriptor isn’t their only identity. The ‘person’ will always remain while the association can change.

    Additionally, we shouldn’t let doctors off the hook too easy to stop remembering they are humans with a problem and they are not ‘the problem’.

    “Junkies”

    These are people with addiction. they are people who have a problem. A common problem. And some starting with injuries. And they are vulnerable and taken advantage of the most by the very people making money off of them. People with addiction take the most blame and treated with utmost contempt for the very issue that is caused by the people who create the issue in the first place : Doctors and the pharmaceutical industry.
