Seeing as I'm able to check back here and reply, at least for now, here we go.
It feels like castisement, at least. Being told that I'm bring manipulated by my friends to hate my parents.[...]
...Uh. That ...isn't what's really going to happen, because any hate directed towards an anybody is foremost to the attitude given, in mundane situations (and towards a specific certainty of that attitude--though that's all under what words are provided and what they're directed at). ...But you hating them? That's something you'd not do. Like seriously (knowing you.).
You're giving direct detail despite the panic that they're kind and working to understand you. That speaks droves that they're more than...err, anything 'deserving' of hate. To be blunt. [although you do need to work on your wording when you're panicky or distressed.
It may tend to only give
one tiny part of the picture of what has happened].
Do note--what we base here is from what meaning we derive--usually if what one gets from another being a general case of
D: There is a tendency to advise going away from the
D: (or at least distancing), because people don't want to see others keep on getting hurt.
Mindfulness of wording is needed in order to convey a general, yet accurate picture.
Honestly, my parents are usually nice and try to understand me, but they bring up that I'm more comfortable talking to people online than them. I feel like its that way because it feels like I can just walk away if an answer annoys me and I just need a moment to think it over. I can't do that in real life. I also have trouble keeping my tone in a neutral area, so I'm stuck trying to both manage my tone and my words and it is just too much sometimes.
Its more like
this is how it is perceived or interpreted--not actually that you
are more comfortable online than talking with them--its the factors affecting the comfortability that matter, and its not exactly
the matter of talking that creates discomfort. Other factors like aggression, misinterpretation, body language, tonal inflection also give associated meaning of their own (to be interpreted). You can talk this out with them.
And you
can do that in real life [can = not impossible; probably difficult now, but not impossible]. If problems with tone arise--mention that you've problems with tone and ask attention towards what you say instead.
Just not in a heightened emotional state or panic...else one may tend to dwell on things which seem 'most impactful' at the current time rather than the holistic picture.
All of this with an aggravated tone, mind you.
When arguments come to that point--its usually misinterpretations on both sides on unspoken areas of what one side wanted to say [ie {Person says something} (I feel attacked or affronted by a single part of the whole of what they said...and I don't respond, or my body language shies away) {How will they interpret that?}].
Maybe in this time of rest--compose your idea, instead of dwelling on the worst possible scenario
as if it is what the upcoming scenario will become. Positive attitude in place? That predicts such a scenario, but also makes leeway for 'what can I do otherwise, or to make the best case happen too?'
I turned to the Internet because I can be myself. I wouldn't have to lie about my interests so I could get friends. I could be who Ice is without judgement.
Because this is a good point out of context. An example is you and me--you were you, and I was...me.
Totally ok.
You just have to explain yourself to them without prejudice, or a tone of such, in your idea/wording--or on how it may be interpreted.
By definition, it isn't the same as stereotyping or discrimination--or a rather negative idea. {Though technically it is an unjustified, and typically negative attitude towards a notion/individual or group}. It has roots within the stereotype: a categorized, grouping, general belief about {any particular idea}. And the stereotype, despite how it is commonly heard, is part of a cognitive process--how grouping ideas form a concept.
On the other hand, I did notice that their favicon changed.
I don't know what to think of the new favicon. Is it supposed to be a gay rights thing, or is it just tacky?
favicon = Favorite Icon?
