I had a head injury as a child. Its how I had my NDE I've talked about. I don't think anyone can notice anything different about me. But sometimes I don't pick up on nuance, particularly sarcasm and some jokes. And yes, it's from my concussion because I couldn't tell so many jokes myself after the concussion, like I did before it. My personality changed, hallmark of brain damage.
So tonight I'm on X, and a woman made a sarcastic caption to her post, and I replied as if it were literal and not sarcastic. Not the first time I've done it, but the first time a person was an actual asshole about it.
Right on X she says under my comment, "I can't believe some people take me seriously" and now there's a running thread about what a dumbshit I am.
Even adults can be so mean.
Awe Hun don’t let social media make you doubt yourself. I’ve never and I’m sure most on here have never had a concussion but we are looking for truth and because of that we are the butt of all jokes. It builds character. Don’t underestimate yourself. If that person knew how that hurt you I’m sure she or he would feel so guilty. Be yourself, speak your mind and accept that others may not understand. Who cares you don’t know them they don’t know you. You are here to be the best in your life not there’s. Chin up!
Awe I’m so glad. Remember no one and I mean NO One is better than YOU. They just want you to think they are. They know they’re NOT. Much love from my heart to yours. Be you and be the best YOU.
