Imagine my shock as a neurodivergent teen when I first realized that using large vocabulary and eloquent speech doesn't make you less likely to be misinterpreted, rather it adds an entirely new layer of misinterpretation I had never even realized existed in the form of people thinking you're being snobbish or condescending when you're just trying to be specific

The narrative that every time you touch or move your face will “prematurely” age your skin is so uniquely evil. It’s said as if rubbing your tired eyes is something unnatural; as if having the expressive range of a corpse throughout your entire life is the norm. Your face is meant to move. It’s meant to go outside and cry and grin and be smushed into your cat’s belly when you hug her. Wrinkles are not a sign that you’ve done something wrong—they’re a sign that you’ve lived just as you were meant to.
“bear with me” you say. we both turn into bears and escape into the woods
