Certainly I know that. It's precisely why I know how upsetting and disturbing it is for you, because I know that you know that, too. Something like that invokes a fight-or-flight response, but you've already said you can't flee (damn, I remember some things). Fighting is not something that comes naturally to us, though, we're pacifists.

@VulcanTourist@autistics.life @fightfascism@a.gup.pe Oh, I see. I thought you were saying I was being too emotional for *you*, rather than that maybe I was being too emotional for *me*. I did say I was trying to take a day off from this for mental health, and I appreciate the reminder. It is *extremely* upsetting. I have rarely been brought to tears by news.
