More than once we have come across some ill informed armchair psychologist who tried to tell us we weren’t real or a coping mechanism or some other opinion they pulled out of their ass. Anymany else experienced this?

The other thing we see often is ‘jokes’ about us using we which derails the whole conversation as we calmly explain what we are, but the thing is it never returns to the conversation afterwards and invariably the above group show up and are unnecessarily mean, their full willful ignorance on display.

Anymany else experienced any of these scenarios? If so how do y’all deal with it?

    i definitely agree. curiosity and a willingness to learn are huge green flags imo.

    i often wish that there was a way to just make everyone be nicer to each other, but sadly i think that doesn’t exist. the only way i see to improve our situation is to slowly fight back against everything that got us here. if i can make one person/entity’s [1] day better, maybe they’ll do the same for another :3

    [1]: are these equivalent, or is ‘person’ too much of a human thing?

      We find person fine for some of us, but yes they can be equivalent. We have seen many different terms like entity, creature etc and we wanted to be inclusive.
