Comment on Anon is lacking something metaphysical

Ooor, someone had to “survive” their family’s bullshit and being unseen was the best way to do it. Then it became so ingrained in said someone’s existential fingerprint, that they’re now a ninja without even realising it.

You don’t need some tragic family background to be soulless creature wearing human costume.

Yeah, bullying at school works too.

Yeah I’m like this and it’s not really a trauma thing for me. I’m just autistic and ADHD which basically means I take advice too seriously and I have a bad habit of getting into someone’s field of view or in their way by accident. As a result of being advised to be less visible every time I got in someone’s view, I accidentally became invisible. It’s something I’ve been working on lately actually and I’ve noticed I scare people less often since I started thinking about it

And one day when we flee
From our sweet misery
And shed our human costumes then
Revealing somewhat smaller men
Go off to work and then back again

You don’t need to assume that it isn’t a tragic familial background, either. Or any other sort of trauma which would push one to close off. Throwing the “soulless” label aroud willy-nilly is just an extension of abusing the “narcissist” moniker. It prohibits any nuance and facilitates unjustified suspicion.
Yes, there are sociopaths who can be considered soulless. But just because one is odd does not intrinsically mean one is soulless. There’s a plethora of other potential reasons.
Plus, don’t forget, oddity is in the eye of the beholder in the first place. My odd may be completely different than your odd.

Yeah trowing around soulless label is horrible abuse in a joke post with a screenshot from 4chan.
