This is an example of using my weakness to justify a communication blockade, and their actions in the past suggest selective choices in choosing who they befriend.

Today, someone:

"Right, because you're going to take care of my chores when I end up too sick to move because I'm not well enough to shower? Well, now I can finally block you in good conscience I guess."

Previously, she vented that she wishes she could go to the shower without showering.

I was always trying to figure out and attempt every communication style I know. Recently, I replied: "Go shower please 😁" jokingly, because other people have made the same joke online.

The thing is, I have already consistently interacted with her posts, including liking them and saying "I love Australia 🇦🇺," "Hi, long time no see!" and "Hi, my favourite micro-blogger!"

But she consistently shows minimal to no reciprocity or replies, or engagement with my interactions. This suggests to me that she doesn't like communicating with me, and her use of my weakness to justify "blocking me in a good manner" is, hypothetically, only an excuse to find reasons to stop talking to me and to avoid appearing in her space. She seems to be using my weakness to challenge my dignity and rights as a human being.

She must have the option to just allow me to leave her, upon her request, in a respectful manner so that I can leave with full dignity and maintain my moral character.

The actual motive: I wonder what

The actual motive she chose not to talk to me or even to find my vulnerability to exploit my character is unknown.

Since I have no direct information from her, I can make assumptions, speculate, and consider possible reasons:

  • Is it because of racism? Or...
  • White supremacy?
  • Discrimination towards the natives of the land?
  • Personal anxiety or jealousy?
  • They simply don't like me as a person who entered and wants to connect.
  • Other possible reasons you think I should consider and tell me.

(I am human too and make mistakes. I am not going to curate just to avoid her using vulnerability to harm and dehumanise me, as she did recently.)

Is it racism?

I haven't met many Australian people. It's hard to gain information, but all I know is that Australia systematically self-censors what happened to their natives and Aboriginals.

Only Google Gemini shared the untold history of settler-colonialism in Australia.

However, the Americans I have met at least acknowledge that their ancestors came to American land, but the actual Americans are the natives. They are very honest.

Since she didn't share the actual reason why she blocked me, it's valid for me to speculate and assume why. This is because I am protecting myself and my wellbeing, and I seek to understand what remains unanswered.

My experience with Australian people is that they are usually harsh. It is difficult for me to communicate with them. Their behaviour is similar: they use my weaknesses as justification to attack my character and to justify their personal blocks against me.

Another Australian used my flaws—my schizophrenia and autism—by saying, "Oh, he is Malaysian, is that the Malaysian way of talking?"

Then I felt dehumanised, thinking, "Wow." The other person: that one American ex-girlfriend I met was better in behaviour—genuinely caring and vulnerable—instead of being harmful like that person.

Thank you to the OP for giving me the ideas for this blog entry on documentation and self-defence.
