I’m probably the least spiritual person I know. To the point that I don’t feel like myself when I pray for something out of desperation. Praying feels like pantomiming to me. No judgment whatsoever to religious folks, I just can’t do it. I feel like I’m making a mockery of Faith when I pray bc I genuinely don’t believe it and it sorta taints the experience.
This right here. Tbh I wish I could suspend enough disbelief for praying to actually “work” but there’s always that one part of my autistic brain which refuses to obey.
I too feel praying to be absurd and feel awkward when people do such meaningless rituals around me, but I wouldn’t say I’m aspiritual. There’s something mystical about nature and pondering existence.
Maybe praying is a neurotypical thing. I agree on spirituality, it just comes to me when I least expect it, not when somebody tells me to pray harder lol. When I take a walk or play with animals, stuff like that.
Maybe it is. I used to pray every night when I was younger. I don’t know what I thought I was doing. I Guess i just like nightly rituals. Nowadays I stretch, read, and make an attempt to hypnotize myself before I sleep instead. I’m guessing prayer serves a mental purpose for some people, though now I find it absurd thinking some god would answer them. If “he” can answer prayers I’m sure he either a. Likes to watch people suffer b. Does it randomly and rarely to keep people doing it (using a “lottery” mechanism) or c. “He’s” actually morally neutral and doesn’t care about humanity.
The DM never listens. They just TPK entire parties and move on. I’m not a fan of this rpg lol
I’m possibly atypical (also wait are we talking general mental normalcy or specifically autism spectrum?) and I pray, I definitely think for some people it would or wouldn’t work but I wouldn’t necessarily draw that line along neurotypical/atypical
