Heres the thing: we don’t just know about your phobia. First im hearing of it. I still dont know for sure what it is. I can’t adapt to that.
And since phobias are definitionally irrational, i cant just logic it out. I literally can’t even try to accommodate you unless you ask and explain. If you can’t do that, i don’t think you can socialize.
And some of my irrational triggers aren’t bad things, i don’t ask people to accommodate them, because the world needs more of those things; i just cant with them. I handle it on my end.
Yes, unfortunately, you’re reading the consequence of me having already advocated for this sort of thing with people being less than friendly, and now me bitching about it and getting my ass handed to me.
Anyway, the only thing I’m asking for is not to include huge pictures of common phobias. You know, a small subset of animals and obvious themes like evil clowns in places where they don’t belong. So that’s three fair qualifiers:
huge pictures
super common things known to be phobias, as suffered by roughly 20% of the population
put in places where they have no logical reason to be
This is a fair request, and I’m not asking for anything else. If you consider this scenario, I don’t think I’m asking for anything unreasonable. I can handle everything else.
Tell you what: I’ll be considerate if you try to get at the roots of it and figure out what drives it and how to maybe heal at least partway, maybe cope when i fuck up.

Or do you take offense at that?
