@Dragon I definitely can relate to feeling like "Grandpa" who is completely tuned out and ignored. It happens so fast. I know that @Satiny is probably young enough to be my daughter but she has the talent of being able to let me just forget that for awhile and relate as two equals.
I get the impression that it might be that way with @UnicornSmudge when we get a chance or sometimes I just like to listen to other people talk. It grounds me when everybody afk or in power over me is overwhelming me with gaslighting and then saying dismissive things like "Stop yelling", "behave yourself", "they never said that", "that never happened", "sooner or late someone is going to call the police", "get ahold of yourself", "you do not feel that way you feel this way", "that is not your favourite colour, everybody knows...", "stop exaggerating"......
Sometimes all it takes is someone to play rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock at the right time.
I just really, REALLY need someone to play rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock at those moments. I just do.
