    People bias their own experiences and wrongly assume that most people have similiar thoughts and feelings.

    (Neuro)typical people and narcissists thinking everyone experiences life like them 🤝 people with an undiagnosed disability thinking typical people experience the same exact hardships they do and being self-deprecating over it

      Apparently thinking things you’re allergic to are just spicy or acidic and really taste like burning is common, or that everyone hates their dad for being a douching ball of suck.

        I love my dad. My dad was, and is, great. Yeah, he was absent a lot, because work and church shit kept him busy, but I’ve never met anyone IRL that was as genuinely kind and willing to help.

        If I live my life being only a tenth of the man that my dad is, I’ll be doing well.

        …My mom on the other hand…

          I worded that reply very badly, and it’s not clear to me reading it again what it would mean to you when you read it. So my bad all around. To clarify, I ment to communicate, hopefully humorously, that people assume their very specific life experiences are typical, and that everyone is going through what they are going through, even though that’s not a universal or even typical experience.

          You might already know all this, so sorry, but I think the reply I wrote was badly written.
