My resting sad face has been one of the things I’ve worked on more recently, and since I’ve been making conscious effort to just display the emotion that I’m feeling on my actual face rather than the well-earned despondent distant default I had for decades, I’ve documented a statistically significant increase in positive interactions with strangers ; Discuss.

      I’m defo not autistic.

      While I’m sure that somebody could point to some diagnostically defined ‘reason’ I may be, I think the fad of people online assigning themselves medical diagnosis is the true social contagion.

      I love loud rooms,

      I love people and social connectivity with them,

      I love new things

      I Also love routines, I regularly practice social interactions in the mirror and have my whole life, I adore the calming certainty of mathematics and I ate the same breakfast and lunch every day for roughly 7 years.

      Defo not autistic though.

        Also I love to match the OHM resonance of electrical transformers, specifically when it’s being stepped down from 660 -> 220 When I can ‘link’ the same vibrations of the transformer to my chests resonance …

        It’s a sensation that has gotten me through tough times

            Awww, thank you 🫶🏻

            As somebody who has had a lot of her life revolve around the desire to be understood and the fear of failing to achieve that, it mans a lot to hear you say such.

          im sorry this was clumsy

          also the autism diag sucks a lot and regroups ppl with very different conditions sometimes, autists were considered schizophrenic for a long time

    My gf told me the same, unfortunately I’m simply a sad existence.
