Evidently, people who speak different languages, pay attention to different things. This would, possibly, mean that speaking that language you happen to speak controls your thinking somewhat. Your mother tongue causes you to think in different ways than for example I do.

So, you'd have a different worldview than I do. There would be no objectively distinguishable world.
Whether the above hypothese is correct or not there isn't any subjectively same world, of course.
The world isn't the same to everyone. This might be because of language, of course. Or it might be because of million other things.

You don't perceive the world like I do.
I'm surprised that anyone is ever able to communicate succesfully with anyone. For example, I think it would be impossible to explain you what social phobia feels like if you're not sociophobic yourself (and even then it would differ). That leaves me rather dissatisfied. I want you to know what social phobia is like because that would make you understand me and my actions better.

But of course I can't.
I could perhaps, explain to you that people frighten me and that's why I act oddly sometimes, don't pay attentio to it, it's okay. And then you would perhaps leave me alone. Until something happened you didn't expect. I didn't answer the phone because I was having a specially bad day and you just wouldn't get it.
I'd have to explain you over and over again that it's because of this and this is because that... and so on.
And you most likely wouldn't understand. You would accept it, maybe, but you wouldn't understand.

How am I supposed to deal with that?
Everyone's different, and so on, yeah.
Say, what do you think of this: I should give a speech in front of the class but I know I cannot do it. So I go to the teacher who says "Okay, you can write an essay instead but remember that I will have to drop your grade because of this". Oh, yes, I do remember. I do remember all the teachers who'd drop my grades because they thought I didn't speak enough during classes. And who'd stare at me suspiciously when I tried to explain why I can't give presentations.

Obviously, they thought it was a no good reason to have a disorder. It's not like they would drop the grades of someone who can't give a presentation because he doesn't have a tongue and therefore cannot speak.
Oh, yes, mental disorders aren't real illnesses.

And you know, when I think of how difficult it was to even tell them I couldn't give a presentation. How fucking difficult it was. It was easier to give the damn presentation sometimes (or, more often, just skip the class without explanation).

So, think, does my life sound a lot like yours?
Do you still hate your teachers because they refused to recognice your disorder?
Do you have any idea what it's like to have social phobia and how it affects my everyday life?
Every second?

Do you think we pay attention to the same things, ever?
