There's an underlying care instinct that needs to be activated. Its emotional; you can't explain it, they have to experience it.. There was a post years ago supposedly describing the empathic awakening of a white supremacist, which occurred as he was waiting to harm or harass a father and son on a bus, and the moment of awakening happened as he witnessed the father expressing his love for his son and something clicked for him, probably because he wanted that sort of affection from his dad and never got it.

You might have CPTSD in addition to ADHD
Precious habits, yes, the rituals we does, yesss, over and over, they can hurt us, or make our lives better, precious!
Not everyone can flex into new roles. Have some compassion for those who get left behind. The lack of compassion in your response actually causes you to look conservative.
It is an awesome name
Thank you for trying to protect the lemmy/kbin and fediverse communities. It will take lots of effort like this to keep it unshitified.
And indoor plumbing!
