I read the story and I can see how it can help people conceptualize their struggles. I guess i just question the utility. If someone doesn’t understand that the pain you feel or lack of energy or whatever often leaves you unable to do everything you want to do, they don’t lack comprehension they lack empathy. The spoons thing seems more like its performative theatre for people who already get it. Which is fine, of course, it just sets my teeth on edge a bit for reasons I can’t really explain. Thank you for clarifying though
Yeah of course. I think it gives you gsa queer or flag wearing queer at pride energy. Like people are going to think its too much. Or too unserious to respect.
Of course, I dont think that but its understandable that it would bring that up.
