    Also the dance of letting the conversation shift around without any kind of shared understanding helps too, which is why conversations with neurotypicals can be so exhausting.

    Honestly I’m starting to doubt that neurotypical is actually the majority of people and most people are just good at pretending to be typical.

      everyone’s faking it, no one knows what they’re doing and for some reason they’ve all silently agreed to act like they like it that way.
      had a boss tell me something similar ages ago… for a while i was able to pretend i was ok with this, but honestly i’m sooo fucking tired.
      it’s not even a dance. it’s chickens in a coop, trying to pretend they’re hawks, but they’re all fucking headless
