how about be true to who you are and ignore anyone who views you as “low value” because their perception of you really doesnt matter…at all
I just learned that if you are neurodivergent the best way to get respect out of neurotypicals is by being aggressive and mean because they perceive those type of people as high value & kindness as low value. Where as neurodivergent ppl view kindness and empathy as high value and aggression as low value.
