Hey OP, other ND hexbearian here. I’ve seen you around on the site and think I recognize you from a past account.
Advice on why I think you might be experiencing a sense of rejection
It seems like you might have a tendency to default to a position of feeling personally attacked by a topic and then spiraling, which can pretty quickly set others into a defensive mode.
It’s worth continuing to work on “mindfulness” and taking a breath before defaulting to that mode. This site is pretty accepting of folks, but also hardened against concern trolls.
When you spiral, it can feel really jarring for others who are also ND and pretty “harsh” as a conversational texture. Not sure if that makes sense to you or not, I have an off way of conceptualizing convos. I personally struggle with mindfulness, so I empathize (even though you pissed me off that one time lol)
Yeah… that’s tough and makes me anxious even reading, so all I can say I guess is that my advice on mindfulness remains something that might be helpful. Going to disengage for now, take care.

Anyway, solidarity.
