We all do something differently from everyone else, yet that rarely seems to help a lot of people understand that not everything needs to happen the way they're used to living their lives.
Whether we're talking about setting boundaries for family members, asking others to show us the same consideration we show them, or simply existing in an unconventional living situation, it seems that somebody out there is ready to judge us for everything we do. And the more trivial it is, the more it seems to get under their skin.
And while this just makes for a funny story about a weird encounter when it's a total stranger giving us grief, it's a lot harder to deal with this lack of understanding when it's coming from the people we live with.
