Men and women often see the same moment through different lenses. What one perceives as confrontation, the other experiences as connection. What one calls “silence,” the other calls “space.” Beneath nearly every conflict between men and women lies not hatred, but misinterpretation. The battlefield is rarely the issue itself. It is language, tone, and expectation.

Torn Between Two Services
I’m calling myself neuro-typical here, because I don’t meet any diagnosis criteria. I certainly don’t experience any of the long-term issues around social anxiety and isolation that my daughter does.

Rather than an introverted, needing a system, not comfortable in social situations person, like her Dad.
