Is this okay?

Blew up earth

So I notice that I get upset easily because of my autism when I feel worried if I’m going to hurt a minority by having a political opinion. If I feel like they shouldn’t get mad over something so easily but I know it comes from feeling frustrated because they’re being oppressed. I don’t mean like a black person getting mad over another terrible thing that has happened. I mainly mean when I’m a debate and they get mad and they say to a man for example you can’t have an opinion on @b0rtiOn I feel like what they said is ridiculous because silencing people isn’t going to help us change people’s minds isn’t it? But I know it comes from a place of hurt and being upset but it also hurts my autism and makes me stressed easily to the point where I had so many of these thoughts running through my head I broke down crying and I started to hate life and everything. Yet I still feel worried to have my own opinion on stuff. Please help

  • Well, any topic opened up for a debate or differing opinions is not going to make everyone happy, but for a discussion to take place, people have to be talking, and how can that take place if the other side is silent? Isn't silence the opposite of discussion? And it is often said that "silence is oppression." I don't think any woman wants to be silenced and not have an opinion on an important matter, so why would it be any different for men?

  • I can totally relate to this. I worry about my opinions and beliefs so much as people dont seem to have a tolerance for others opinions anymore. No matter what your opinion is there is gonna be someone out there who makes you feel like a bad person for having it. 

    All I can say is just be you and believe what you believe and think what you think and know thats ok. 

    Just be careful about who you share your opinions with and be gentle in how you say them. 

    I have learnt to accept we all have different opinions about everything and thats ok, i just try to accept people as they are. I wish other people could do that too. Not everyone has to think the same 

    Im sorry you have been made to feel like this, its not fair
