You’re obviously not mentally stable if you think making fun of people that actually have __ is ok. You don’t even make sense It
Verdich [7]
<span>omgggg bro what did you do LOL
You’re obviously not mentally stable if you think making fun of people that actually have __ is ok. You don’t even make sense. It's “in the house,” not "on the house." “ And with “does it not make sense to your autistic self,” you forgot the question mark… and you have the audacity to call me dumb, which is sad. I hope you get help because if you think ___is fine and making fun of others is good then you were raised like trash, and like most insecure people you have to make others feel bad in order for you to feel good. Don’t at me any more low life.

fixed it up a bit hope that helps lol</span>
