A place where you can rant to your heart's content.
Rules :
- Follow all of Lemmy code of conduct.
- Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
- Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

I also used to have a friend that hit me (not hard) when i was a teen.
Took me until well into adulthood to realize that
they actually hit decently hard cause it did hurt but i just internalized “they could hit much harder”
It doesn’t matter how hard they actually did hit because the behavior and intend alone are problematic enough.
I simply called them my friend coming from a lack of positive experiences in friendships.
This is a slightly different case, i dont think there was any hate, just mental disorder. But the real friends i have now (also with mental health struggles) would never do something like this.
People being frustrated with autism is normal, friends getting upset now and then is normal.
Physical violence and expressing direct hate are far from normal.
