Started posting in a forum for people with my personality disorder, and I REALLY didn't realize that a bunch of shut-ins would care so much about being derisive of my gender identity
Ok so it turns out that forum is basically full of Trumper troglodytes who are too afflicted by SPD to shitpost elsewhere. Fucking great. They ruin everything
@noxy People with that personality disorder don't tend to like anyone who doesn't share similar interests
@noxy I'm not judgemental about it but I uh, keep that in mind at all times.
I have a roommate with schizoid personality disorder and well, beyond current events and politics we don't talk about much.
@Elizafox You're definitely right, and I knew that going in, I think I was just overly optimistic. It is a helpful reminder though, I appreciate that. I don't really talk about my SPD much, because people assume I'll act that way, but I've done a LOT of hard work to break free from it as much as I can. My three-year relationship with my girlfriend is a testament to that, I think
I want to note that Mastodon is, so far, the only exception to this rule in my experience
@noxy don't take it personally. Yes, they are shitheads, but they are bigger shitheads than you thought. It doesn't really matter what you are talking about as long as they can troll you. My advice would be to simply ignore them. Cheers! and best of luck with your blog!
@ayys I'm just going to stop using the forum, I've decided it isn't worth the energy. Thank you though!!!
By nature, people with Schizoid Personality Disorder do not socialize much. I have basically no close friends, save for my girlfriend and one coworker. I don't speak to my family. So I (foolishly) thought that I might find some kind of camaraderie on a forum for other people with my disorder. But no, I was reminded as always that no matter what group it is, where you are, what you have... people are awful and they will ruin your time if you let them
