And it has all kinds of implications and context and shit.
How the fuck am I supposed to tell what’s just people doing things at random and what’s a part of all-singing-all-dancing-shit-show the neurotypicals call “social norms”? Down with NTs.
Honestly while it’s really fucking annoying that refusal to participate could result in some silly neuronormo interpreting a completely innocuous action as an offense, and it can cut you off from social shit, I think it’s basically the only way. The same button never does the same thing twice. Screeching rn.
Might I ask which pointless social norm prompted this? I’m pretty good at helping my wife who’s autistic navigate them.
My ADHD ass understands that I’m breaking the social norm but reaaallly needed to say something lol
No :3
Breaking the social norm is usually based. This one requies a facial expression I can’t really make…
Is it a smile? I swear I haven’t figured out what the fuck a smile really is. I can manage a grimace that’s the best you get
I can smile when laughing or w/e but cannot make it happen naturally. If somethin makes me happy or whatever it works great, otherwise no lmao.
That’s interesting cause I smile like a motherfucker, and it’s stereotypical for Polish people to not smile. Funny how it goes.
I hate having to force a smile, thank fuck I wear a mask
It is actually so frustrating not being able to smile in a natural looking way.
