Man this hits home. I'm so sad that I feel like I get treated like a crazy person for actually talking intentionally I.e. for talking about things that are important to me and what I think is important to who I'm talking to, for choosing my words intentionally and not playing games and picking up or putting out coded implications in my speech, and not wasting time having lengthy conversations to nobodies benefits or worse, that are just causing harm. Setting boundaries has been an important part of surviving while staying as consistent with my values and beliefs as possible, but it gets so lonely and difficult and exhausting, I'm constantly on. If you look through my comment history you'll see what I mean, I'm frequently leaving long replies requesting to connect with folks who seem to share interests or sometimes just I'm just making what I feel is an important point, and it seems like hardly anyone engages what I'm saying in good faith and actually hears me, and nobody at all actually reaches out
