- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

If you're a regular subway rider or grew up riding one (such as my neurodivergent ass) you start to realize that you're just a person in a sea of people on the train. The anonymizing actually helps with my anxiety.
For you maybe, and my worry isn't not being anonymous, it's getting stabbed again
Easy, just don't look like someone who wants to get stabbed again!
I'm joking, obviously. I'm really sorry that happened to you.
Appreciate it, thankfully it slid off my ribs and only needed stitches but that was nearly half a century ago and I still have to do a lot of mental prep work to sit down that close to strangers
Also as for your 'don't look like a person who wants to get stabbed again' line, I know you made it as a joke but statistically autists are targeted for violence by abusers and those abusers describe it all as visual cues that lead them to violence so maybe something to consider.
Are people really downvoting you for being stabbed?
It's the typical 'Terrible things never happen because they haven't happened to me' mentality
I'm really sorry this happened to you. I hope you are well and that nothing like this ever happens to you again.
