As somebody who has issues with sociality and everything that comes with it, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate this post. I was very uncomfortable with the way merricatk was condemned for reacting the way she did (I can understand where she's coming from anxiety-wise, so seeing her mocked for that made me feel unwanted and unwelcome), and I think you did a great job of pointing out just why it was problematic. So thank you.
