A bona fide realist, annoyed with hyperboles and sensationalism, this
person responds in the opposite. They see no value in “what ifs” and stand firm
in “right now”. Yes. They know the staggering statistics. They understand this
is serious, but continually discussing the Pandemic gives it too much power. They’re
well informed but not obsessed; and would appreciate if everyone just “calmed
down”. They, too, are concerned; however, they don’t cope by talking about it.
They accept it, adjust to it, and move on. Often perceived as insensitive and
apathetic, they are neither. They just don’t want to talk about it. The key to
inclusive understanding is the ability to embrace and adapt. If you ask a
Cucumber how they’re doing and you get a one-word response like “fine” accept
it and move on. The beauty of community is accepting each other when we differ,
especially in crisis.
