We don’t just see it as a mistake; we see it as a betrayal. A computer is supposed to be flawless. That’s what we bought into.

From Enemies to Partners
At first, anxiety was an enemy. Ready at a given moment to jump up and tell me the myriad of ways any situation could go wrong. And as soon as I made the slightest misstep making me feel horrible.

Am I an Empath or the Opposite? A Brain Dissection in Real Time. Content Warning.
Intellect is something that I indeed lack. And so I feel utterly ashamed. It's like a destructive nature that binds me tightly with my idiocy. It is shameful and I find it exhausting.
