In this short, the speaker reflects on how society quickly labels people—especially those who are homeless or neurodivergent—with negative assumptions such as addiction, mental illness, or other stigmas. They describe how these external judgments have personally triggered them, noting their own neurodiversity (dyslexia, ADHD, autism spectrum) and the constant reminders of perceived inadequacy they faced in school, symbolized by the ever‑present red correction pencil. The monologue underscores the harmful impact of snap judgments and invites viewers to reconsider how they perceive and label others.

Chapters

There were no expectations. You know, the only expectations that were there was judging me. It's when people look at you, they. They look at you with their knowledge. So they look at a homeless person, and they. They register that in their thinking. Like, or is addicted or is in trouble, or is mental, mental disease, or, you know, you get these labels immediately. I'm sharing this because this triggered me so much. I have labels, different labels. I have neurodiversity, I have dyslexia, adhd, and I'm on the spectrum with autism. And that's by weirdness. Right. And having dyslexia, for instance, when you're not good in reading and writing and at school, you're making these mistakes constantly. Your teachers are addressing that every time. So since I was a little kid, the red pencil was there, always.
