Hey Pandas, What's Something You Wish People Understood More?

Asexuality. We can have crushes and romantic relationships. Asexual means having little to no sexual attraction, Aroace is when you feel little to no romantic or sexual attraction. They are different things. For example I'm Asexual and Biromantic so I don't feel sexually attracted to anyone, but I am romantically attracted to boys and girls. Hope this helps more people understand. :)

Being a pagan DOESN'T make me a satanist.... I don't sacrifice animals (or people) and I don't dance naked in the moonlight!!

The fact that hating the ruling political party and hating the nation are two DIFFERENT things.

And stop fanboying over political leaders and blindly supporting them.

I just want to complain for the sake of complaining. I want to vent and feel heard, not for you to start giving me advice or judging me.

Also, if I'm trying to talk to you, for the love of god, don't start monolouging. If I'm keeping my side of the conversation short, please just do me the same f*****g courtesy.

Being Agnostic doesn't mean I don't believe in God. It's neither acceptance nor denial of one. I love my family but it is very tiresome being treated as though I completely disbelieve just because I don't believe it is something we could ascertain.

Just as a side note, I have tons of respect for people who have faith in a higher being. It's not something I can dedicate my life to and believe in but it doesn't mean I can't respect your beliefs and see value in them. I'm fine attending any service that has importance to you (my youngest sister's baptism was great!)

Please try not to let your mental health become your defining characteristic! You are so much than anxiety or depression. You are not depressed so&so you are so&so who is a beautiful human being who happens to suffer these conditions.

Making jokes like about being pansexual like so you like pans? It's not funny in the least so stop. if anything it's gonna make me want to punch you in the gut. Also not everyone in the LGBTQ+ community will try and cancel people cuz you got their pronouns wrong. Like I honestly SUCK at pronouns for everyone. EVEN ME!!!!! And my friends understand that so it's good but yeah have a nice day 😙💛

Invisible illnesses.

Patience and manners. People just push others out of the way, just bark "MOVE" and sulk, complain, and just try to barge through because they don't want to wait patiently.

Being trans isn't a choice. If it was, I'd much rather be a cis girl than a trans guy, but here I am

I am so sick of hearing, "You talk so proper for a black girl." Like...What?! What does that mean? We don't all talk the same, but people of other races don't talk the same either. So why am I proper for "a black girl"?

My voice. It is soft and a higher pitch. I've spent a lot of money on speech therapy and doctor appoitments.. Please don't mimic me and this means my students. I am the way I am unfortunately.

The thinking process. That a complete thought has more than one sentence attached to it and the supporting sentences are to emphasize the initial thought. And that it’s not abnormal to have thoughts that branch off in different directions and that that doesn’t mean you’re mentally ill if you think about things differently. Once upon a time that just meant that you had a different view and then people would converse about the different ways of looking at things without judging one another and making it a competition over who’s right and who’s wrong.

I have a friend, who was in a very bad depressive state caused by racism. They have been excluded from several of their passions because they're black. one time, when we were hanging out, I was telling a joke and someone walked up to me and said "why do you talk like a black person? Your white." and I got so mad, because my friend was right there and just walked away, crying, because they thought it was their fault I was also excluded from stuff because of how I talk. I want to say one thing, this person can go straight to something worse than hell. because just from one comment....costed someone's life.

If 50% is the most I can operate at on a given day, that's ok, it my 100%
Also you don't have to give 100% all the time!

lgbtqia+...I know this is common and everyone knows but I hate that people think it's a choice or a phase, they think its funny to say "your gay" as a joke. a kid in my class just said it about 5 minutes ago, its really not funny...

Using a louder voice helps people who don’t understand you work better. I’m bilingual and I don’t know how many times I’ve stepped in to translate when someone just is getting louder with someone. Point and ask at things at the very least it helps, take a moment to try to rephrase what you’re asking. Also English isn’t the officially language of the United States.

Two very different meanings depending on the capital letter

That alzheimers isn't just forgetting things. There are far, far worse symptoms which have a devasting impact on not just the person affected but their friends and family. The fight families have to make to get help for their loved ones and themselves in this country (UK) is appalling.

Sometimes my depression and anxiety make me unable to do things. It sucks out all of my energy the worse it gets. If I don't feel like seeing you, it's not something I have against you as a person, I just don't have the energy or social battery. The amount of times the person I'm talking about has complained that I don't want to see them, or that I hate them, or something else, just because I don't have the energy to see anyone or talk to anyone, is terrible. I would already like to be alone and them complaining about it makes me feel worse about wanting to be alone than it already does. I understand wanting to see me, but I wouldn't lie about that stuff. If I don't want to see you, I don't want to see anyone. I feel like they don't believe I'm depressed because "I have nothing to be depressed about". GOSH I hate that so much. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
