It seriously does, if I didn’t joke about almost everything I think I would’ve gone mad.
Not to mention the number of people that assume that since I can act normalish, no long term damage was really done.
It’s infuriating, I had to retrain myself to understand basic emotions and sarcasm, yet some still regularly use (heavy) passive aggressive comments. Or, that any of my issues due to it will magically disappear as it makes them uncomfortable.
Same here. I have a female bichon frise and I had no idea the teeth near the mustache tend to go bad along with the hip joints.
