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.
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.

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.
