    I tried this. It was really nice. I’m am constantly shocked by how purposefully cruel people are everywhere I interact with them. Having pretend interactions with people where they are nice to me is better than the real thing.

    I am autistic and don’t even identify as human, so your experience is probably way different from mine.

      I’ve been posting about how adorable rats are and no one has told me yet that they are disgusting and should be exterminated. It’s nice.

      Some validation that I didn't know that I needed, much appreciated.

      Huh. I felt like that a year ago. Since I didn't find anything on the internet about that, I thought I was alone with that feeling. Now I feel, above everything else, human. Probably because I no longer ponder over the things that made me like that and because I noticed that I am unable to put myself in any category or group and that the only thing that defines me from everything else in the world is that I am human (though I imagine that these same thoughts were part of what led me to the opposite conclusion a year ago).
