so much of what people attribute to like inherent biological differences between age groups is a lot more just the result of having different amounts of life experience. is that teenager functionally brain damaged because their brain is "underdeveloped" or have they only been alive for 14 years and thus do not have the same amount of practical experience + wisdom to draw on when dealing with difficult situations.

Is that toddler "overreacting" to losing his favorite toy by crying uncontrollably or is it genuinely the worst thing he's ever experienced because he's only been alive for two years?

Is that teenager "hormonal" because she's obsessed with a boy or is it just the first time she's felt this kind of love?

Is that child "stupid" because they can't figure out a basic problem or is it just the first time they've seen that problem?

I'm more equipped to handle those experiences because I've dealt with them before, not because my brain is more developed or because I'm smarter or inherently a better person. It's their first time being alive, give them a break. Its also your first time being alive, give yourself a break

I just....I just learned that there's a word in the English language...for when you run into someone to hug them with all the enthusiasm and strength you have....I learned that it's called glomp.

My God, English has so many words to describe physical intimacy, I'm in love

Scars? Not body horror. Limb differences? Not body horror. Facial differences? Not body horror. Feeding tubes, colostomy bags, etc? Not body horror. Movement disorders? Not body horror. Visibly disabled people just existing is not horror.

Did you guys know there's nothing inherently wrong with selfish thoughts and desires and there's no such thing as thought crimes or thought sins and a balanced amount of selfishness is healthy and adaptive for living things to have and it's fine to act selfishly as long as you don't harm others

Let's parse the word "harm" here: harm is when your actions infringe on the legitimate rights, safety, and/or wellbeing of another person. asking for things is not harm. mildly inconveniencing others on occasion is not harm. wanting things is not harm. talking a lot is not harm. ordering in a restaurant is not harm. disliking someone is not harm. sexual attraction is not harm. rejecting an unwanted advance is not harm. letting others see unlikable sides of yourself is not harm. you would not believe how many things your parents disapproved of when you were little you've construed as harm are not, in fact, harm
