Toot

@roldan_belenos @actuallyautistic now I'm having more thoughts about this. I think that overcaring about the feelings of objects is one of several "mental traps" that I identified as very real threats to my sanity and functioning back when I was a child. I have long since built very robust safeguards into my thinking, which at one point felt healthy and helpful, and then for many years passed entirely out of my conscious awareness, but have lately resurfaced and now I have a faint inkling of a sense of an idea that I would "naturally" care about these things a great deal, but I've essentially dehumanized them (you know, like humans sometimes do to other actual humans) so that I don't have to care.

I am not ready to look very closely at that, though. Yikes 😬
