So when people today glare at me, even my last T, it's because of them and they way they respond to things, not because I'm socially inferior and they're not? I'll try to remember and consider this if/when I get into a situation where I feel judged again -- which I probably will.
Thanks. I also looked up categorical mistake, which I've heard about but not much, to see if that kind of thing might enter into my thinking in other places.
