My grandpa doesn’t understand how hard it is for me to get up in the morning, to not hyperfixate, to not be emotionally unstable.

My friend says it’s normal for him to be like that and makes excuses and defenses for him.

    Maybe your friend is right? Don’t we all regularly fail to empathize with people? I don’t get why people vote for certain people, I don’t know 100% how it feels to be a woman, someone else… I don’t know how an ilness feels if I never had it… That’s perfectly normal. The thing hat matters if we respect such people (despite not understanding them).
