Is this a neurodivergent thing? Does that mean "normal" people are sociopaths?
No, but ADHDers are a bit more emotionally (and thus in matters of justice) sensitive.
Ah fair. It's hard for anyone not to be affected by whatever the fuck is happening everywhere. So yeah if you already struggle with it, it's hell.
I honestly don't know if I have some neurodivergent thing. That's why I am constantly wondering when I see posts like this "isn't that normal...? Wait.. am I not normal?"
I'm curious if you are perhaps conflating "sensible" with "sensitive" or if that word choice was intended.
Yeah, i did. Sorry.
I think it's also worth noting that it's calibrated to the person's individual notion of justice. It's not like all ADHD people have the same idea of what's just or not.
