I really don't appreciate people that go "uh huh, sure" when you're being 100% honest and they just assume something based on like, the smallest of actions.

Like hey, maybe I was breathing a little hard because I'm very tired today. Maybe I'm trying my very best not to cry.

I need to work on my response, try to not blow up in anger, but it's my quickest option when I'm always faced with people who just don't listen to what I have to say and assume the worst.

My brother is the one that does this to me the most, and is a big reason(out of many) for why I can be so quick to yelling and screaming because he never listens and always assumes the worst from the smallest of things.

Like. I was just. Breathing.
I'm a bad person because I was breathing slightly hard

@Gumby One of the worst things anyone can do to a neurodivergent person is not give them space to breathe. Not being given any time to process and formulate a response, or the space for you to cope in your own ways is extremely distressing and overwhelming.
