I fit the internet SJW stereotype to an uncomfortable degree, but I don’t really identify with it (which makes sense, given that it’s a shallow idea of a person designed by people who dislike them).
At the same time, I absolutely do not fulfill the stereotype of the American in Germany, and people are often very surprised when they hear that I am.
Do you fit or break a lot of stereotypes?
yeah, what I notice with those types is they are self-obsessed and kind of project that onto everyone else.
and if you don’t think they are ‘special’ they get really mad and feel like you are invalidating them.
every third person I meet tells me they are autistic/ahdh/socially anxious. it’s just like… wow you’re normal, we get it. i now sporty extroverted and apolitical people who claim those labels now… because they self-diagnosed on the internet…
