I can't be the only one who sees the concerning common thread in literally all of OP's posts? It dawned on me while I was making dinner last night and my friends said they noticed the same thing.

Discrimination and all forms of bigotry (racism, transphobia, homphobia, etc.) likely invalidate this image/thread title in some part.

People aren't always worrying about random strangers, but when it becomes a pattern in an individual person's life that has very real consequences and effects, it's very easy for them to feel like the spotlight is on them and it could very well be in certain instances. It's gaslighting them to suggest otherwise as a blanket statement.

For those interested in other biases like this, check out You Are Not So Smart by David McRaney.

"No, Elon. Nobody at all thinks you're a self-centered piece of shit that tries too hard on a daily basis to not seem like a fucking prick. No... No! No."

Absolutely nobody thinks that Elon Musk tries to hard to be not a prick.
