> you just don't really "fit in"

Not only do you not fit in, but you're not allowed to complain about anything/say anything, your problems don't matter, etc.

Which is pretty problematic for people who have issues that aren't in the "approved list of things that currently matter".

i recently discovered that this approved list of things that currently matter actually has a name, it’s called the overton window: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window
