I normally pace around pretty much everywhere, it’s pretty much because I have adhd. And I apparently made a mistake of doing it in a plaza.

I was pacing in a plaza while two relatives was shopping. And out of the blue some guy came out of the plasma donation center and yelling at me. Most of what he was saying was unintelligible and the only things I could pick up was “…walking around like a idiot” and “I’m going to blow your head off”. Man fuck this city.

        On Xiaohongshu, I’ve seen the comment a few times in response to your comment. “An egg broken from the outside becomes a meal, an egg broken from the inside brings new life.”

    Oh wow, that is awful. That reminds me of a time when I was having a walk through my neighborhood and I touched the rusty top of somebody’s mailbox out of boredom. As I was walking away, I heard somebody yelling at me and telling me to get back there. He asked me if I took something, then he looked inside of his mailbox, asked me if I understood that that was a felony, and yelled at me to never do that again. When I angrily arrived home, I yelled the hardest that I ever had in my entire life in front of everybody.

      Reminds me of the time I parked my car on the street and overlapped the entrance to a driveway by about 3cm. The homeowner came out and yelled at me for blocking his driveway.

      Another time someone yelled at me for parking 90° offset to how people usually park on a specific area. Given that it was guest parking only I ever used, I didn’t see the issue, but I was shaking with fear and anxiety when that encounter was over.

    Its really fucked that ND people stimming in public is not cool but when a NT person is feeling stressed its fine for them to get angry and threaten random people. I got beat up once in high school for pacing and I’m the one who got in trouble for it.

    I don’t want to be a doomer but the problem is pretty wide spread so don’t put much hope in the dream of moving out of your city. Here in australia the latent rage in society is so bad that they have public service announcement ads on tv to remind people that screaming at customer service workers is not acceptable, and don’t get me started on the road rage.

    Try to take it as a good sign. Irritability and rage amongst the working class is evidence that the foundations of the capitalist system are crumbling under the weight of the super structure. The more random acts of rage you are subjected to the closer the revolution is. I just hope more people start to follow the example of Luigi so that you can pace without fear.
