I Am Not Proud Of Being Smart. I Am Depressed That Others Aren't Smarter.

I am not proud of being smart. I am depressed that others aren't smarter.

Question.

Can someone explain to me why people get so upset over God's "position" on LGBTQ stuff. I was about to ask "Do you feel attacked as people, or is it simply a disagreement?", but then I realized I don't what being 'attacked as a person' really means. I can't contend with discriminating people based on the way that they are, because I genuinely don't know how some people do that if they 'know all the facts'. I feel like there must be people who are actively malicious, but I've never heard of a person who was. These stories are always written by their victims. It also feels wrong to judge someone for their ignorance. Perhaps you're concerned about the law? Marriage in the law doesn't really mean as much as it used too, and you can get a social marriage anyhow. Is it a problem with wanting kids? I don't want ANYONE I disagree with to have kids with, and I think most people feel the same way. Hindu? Atheist? Socialist? Someone who's Christian in every way except they smoke? Doesn't matter, I want to protect the kids from these harmful backgrounds. On the other hand I know that God can reach anyone no matter what their background is, and I'm definitely not for 'sheltering' people. I was kind of sheltered on accident and I don't like it. Maybe I can be libertarian on this issue as well, (I'll need to think about that more). Even things like bathroom rights. In the modern day, all of the stalls are private, so at that point it's just who you're washing hands with, and honestly I don't see why we have different bathrooms at all. Lockers are similar, we should have stalls, I was never comfortable changing in front of other people, and I don't think it would have mattered who they were. The only thing I can think of is that you've made it your personality and you feel attacked as a person. I made my personality 'intelligent' and recently I started making my whole personality 'autistic'. Neither of these decisions are good. I need to realize that people are valuable because God said so, and not because they did or did not work for it. I'm a straight white male from the U.S. and had a relatively stable childhood, and the majority of people I talk to who differ in opinion "haven't really thought about it". None of that is my fault. The closest thing I can relate to that I'm 'gifted' and I have AuDHD. But I know that being underestimated is very different from being overestimated.

I thought this was sarcastic. I'm an autistic spitfire who needs to learn respect, but seriously, you didn't talk to ANYBODY. Come on, if it's truly silent it's your fault. IF IT FELL ON DEAF EARS however, then you have something to complain about. Still no reason to be prideful though, just not guilty :)

Be so f*cking proud of yourself for surviving all the silent struggles you don’t speak about.

I'm confused it seemed to me like she was denying that there was research on trans? To my (limited) knowledge trans weren't a thing back then, at least not like they are now. I need more context or something more definitive to make an actual call. Something that doesn't relate to trans or whatever and is specific to the holocaust. just.... help I'm confused................................................

Sand desert

Shouldn't a sand desert be a place that's hard to find sand?

Mean

The problem with becoming a nice person (especially being autistic) is that I need to find someone who is already nice, but also willing to break that for me specifically and tell me exactly how I wasn't nice. (which is apparently mean to most people)
