God my sociology class on social stratification was the most depressing and anxiety inducing class I've ever taken. Like realising that the prof, and 60 students are nodding along with the idea that social relationships should be exploited to propel a career, treated as 'social capital'? Chilling. Realising that as an autistic person suffering from a severe level of social anxiety, to the point where I'm only barely able to talk to professors about stuff now, after years of school, and that sets me behind everyone else by years caused me panic attacks almost every class it was talked about. Fuck networking.
