@literorrery either way I guess I don't know what they meant by it, but I can extrapolate that enough folks boosting it probably meant it as true in their own experiences

@literorrery it still draws out my inevitable "ugh, is this what they think I'm experiencing because this could not be not wrong" worries

Language it tough

@Oneironott As Depeche Mode said, "[Words] can only do harm." I see the pain and upset you're feeling, at least. Both at the dysphoria and the post.

@literorrery linguistic glitches, on a person level, make me feel so crushingly alone even amongst others, because it highlights the subjectiveness of my own view of self in a way that hurts a lot. That no one can ever see me quite the way I want then to see me, because they can't know my relation to all of it like I do.
It's such an existentially crushing feeling to me that not only will this dysphoria never alleviate… it will never truly be understood.

@literorrery is an incredibly dangerous thought path for me to go down, and is probably why I react so viscerally to things like this

@Oneironott I can see that. I can't say I understand what it's like to be you, or anyone else, but I can absolutely say i understand the existential soul-crushing dread of knowing you're trapped and alone with your qualia. I think it's one of the biggest motivators behind making music, taking drugs, having sex. I think we seek communion with the divine and with each other. I think we're all trying to escape the sense of alienation that consciousness creates.

@Oneironott I may not understand anybody else's qualia, but I can say for sure that I understand what it's like to know mine are isolated from everyone else's. That's a connection I can easily share.

@literorrery for what it is worth… every thing inhabiting your qualia is something I love and cherish being near, whether I know it's contents true or not…

@Oneironott You, in all your facets, are wondrous, Vloelei. We cherish and honor and value and _want_ you, for who you are, all that you are, here and now. We're very glad you're here, all of us.

@Oneironott I agree. I've been bad about this conversational glitch in the past, enough so that @indi has legit called me on it. More than once, embarrassingly. I tend to assume all communication is about personal perspectives unless framed as scientific data, but I'm also exceedingly way outside the norm and most people don't seem to respond that way. Their framing, if not personal, is extremely hurtful to anyone experiencing traumatic dysphoria.
