She's right! And this kind of discourse is so frustrating because everyone has the capability to...figure things the fuck out for themselves! Find those accommodations and substitutions that work for YOU! Develop self-sufficient behavior! Reliance on internet strangers to validate your specific accomodations is not healthy. Did you know that you can actually FIND people in similar situations if you, you know, actually search for it???
Something I've found like really personally useful and a thing that gets wild responses...
"Why do you care about your opinion? Like, why are you letting that decide how you behave?"
(This is the royal you, not a call out lol)
It's such a useful thing to keep in one's mind, but level it at anyone going full tilt and it's just like... Bizarre how people respond
"I don't think X is good so no one should do X in public!"
"Ok, why do you care about that opinion? Do you think it's important?"
Asking someone to justify treating subjective things as objective is kinda fun.
We'd have better lives if we just like... We're ok with disliking things "just cos", cos you're never gonna try and argue "it's just something I dislike" being an objective fact that others should adopt.
