When I see ___, I think ___.

When I see ___, I feel ___.

I’m troubled by these drawings. - anonymous

I think of being an autistic, bipolar, ADHD child who's being yelled at by the world and is crushed by negativity, I am this child! – Di Inscoe

When I look at the faces of the characters in all three panels, I think that no one realizes they are perpetrators and no one realizes they are the victim. – anonymous

My first look at this I just felt the little dude was being yelled at. – Lurline Speer DuPree

When I see this, I’m reminded of this. – Heng Chao

When I look at this drawing, I feel when I see anyone being blasted with energy they may see as positive yet so strong it blows them down that’s OK - it doesn’t matter and they will get back up; yet if we/I feel too much energy from multiple sources at once -positive or negative sometimes it’s just too much to absorb and we/I withdraw within our core for protection. – Gloria Jeanne Wyatt

When I see the lines coming from the mouths of two people, one on the left, one on the right, I feel jolted because I see those two representing voice and opinions called "left" and "right" as screaming that looks the same no matter the view or words. When I see the lines coming from all the mouths in the middle drawings on all panels and notice that listener smiling, I relax and see someone who has enough space in life that no matter the experience, there is awareness that the "shouting" passes through just as waves in a sea. – Susan Michael Barrett

When I see these interactions I think of verbal bullying and feel sad. – Terry Barrett
