I take that to mean I'm doing something right and if they feel I'm being obnoxious about it, well then, welcome to my experience of living in the US.I try really hard to represent myself in a way I approve of on Facebook, because I have set almost everything to Public on there, and I generally assume that even if I think it is private, it really somehow is not. Therefore, I try to walk this thin line between challenging people's preconceived notion and being outright offensive, and some people just decide I am being offensive anyway.
Occasionally due to the impulsiveness that comes with my ADHD and being human I just can't help myself and I say something I know I probably shouldn't. And it usually turns out exactly the way I expected, and I'm like, "Why did I even say that? I totally knew what would happen. Oh, yeah, because it's something I care about more than other people's feelings."
As I get older, I find I get better and better at foreseeing what the consequences of the things I say and do will be. I know I'm just gaining worldy experience, but it feels like a superpower. It feels like being precognitive. And that is fucking cool.
