Yeah I've heard all that about how people allegedly don't think about you and are too busy focusing on their own lives, and I would expect that to be the case. However, my experience has been that people do pass judgement on others, and they don't even think about it much, they just do it naturally. Often times I would notice that people I have barely interacted with start talking to me like I am inferior or something. They aren't usually mean about it or anything, they probably think they are being nice, but the way they talk to me it's obvious I am someone they feel sorry for and don't take seriously. But yes there are also others who act like they are irritated and annoyed by me, even when I have barely interacted with them. It's almost like they just hate my face or my voice or my mannerisms or something.
Now, all this is while I am being pretty reserved and careful not to say or do anything that would upset others. How much worse would it be if I actually decided to be myself uncensored and let people see all my undesirable qualities that I have as a result of not having the fulfilling social experiences that others have when they are younger?
Perhaps I can forgive society for what I was put through in the past. But what I cannot forgive is how people want to continue making me suffer.
