The “Explaining Myself” shirt.

If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be?

It’s funny, isn’t it. You tell people you don’t want to be stuck at home, you have no interest in psychobabble, and yet they keep throwing it at you like you need it, and make you put on the display shirt again.

The difference between psychobabble and someone listening, by the way, is the ones that listen actually understand every word you say or write.

So, why the harrassment from people with no life skills? Because it’s funny for them.  They haven’t got anything better to do. They enjoy it. The real people, with real issues, lives, and families — those people don’t come into it. They’re just there for entertainment and to be harassed.

What also pisses me off, as an Australian, is the people saying, ‘No one has emotional depth anymore, or any emotional feeling.’

It’s possibly because those people saying it are drugged up to the eyeballs, on anti-depressants, or completely off their tits on something else. It’s also possibly because they don’t understand when someone does something understated, doesn’t scream or laugh, or uses easy to read words.

Swearing as an adult is totally off the table if you’ve got sensitive ears or too much of a fluffy little heart. Why would someone put that in a story meant for adults? Goodness me!

(Don’t forget, these are also the people who like to read porn style romances, as long as there isn’t any swearing and it’s “inclusive”.)

Maybe it is simply because they don’t listen.

I’m gonna put it down to that.

They don’t listen, or if they’re reading, instead of listening, they don’t think it isn’t real.

When they find out later that some things are very real, they still don’t care because that is just the way some people think.

They can’t help it. They’re just not very bright.

I’m not apologising for them. They can do that themselves.

Just as an aside and to throw you all out of whack, my own father, who was in WWII, didn’t march in any ANZAC Day parades until the Vietnam Vets were recognised — which took quite some time.

Have a good day.
