#social interaction

[marvelmaniac715]

Things that have made me cry (or almost cry) in the last few hours due to exhaustion:

The end of The Underworld from Epic the musical

The end of Hadestown

Socialising with strangers

A sad TikTok about Aziraphale being lonely as the Supreme Archangel set to When Will My Life Begin from Disney’s Tangled

The board of animal actors used for the Harry Potter films, including the ones that never made it to screen because that is not fair

How pretty David Tennant looks (it was pictures of Crowley)

The tragic reality of Tumblr is that I am presumably supposed to actually interact with other users but I just don't feel like it ever

Internet Etiquette

Devastating! You just saw a take that you don't agree with! This is a check for reading comprehension and the practice of good faith. 

Analyze 

What emotion was this intended to inspire?

What was the goal the speaker was trying to achieve?

How could this be interpreted differently?

Is there context that would change the meaning?

Is the speaker qualified?

Reflect

What is your first reaction and why did you have that specific reaction?

Is it an issue that is harming you and/or did the group being harmed directly state that this harms them?

Do you accept the consequences that could result from interacting?

Is the speaker someone you can reason with?

What assumptions are you making about the speaker?

Speak

What is the goal of your words?

What audience are you catering towards?

Are you talking to the person with respect?

How could your words be interpreted differently?

What reaction will people have towards your words and how is it being achieved?

I've noticed this thing with autistic people where people never know where our attention is. If I'm looking directly at you, I probably didn't mean to!

I'm not staring at you, I just thought the spot on the wall next to you looked interesting or my neck happened to turn that way.

If I am looking to your side but my ear is facing you then I AM LISTENING AND PAYING ATTENTION! I'm angling my ear to process what you're saying better.

Many allistics seem to think eye contact is the sole or most important determining factor of attention in conversations. Not everyone can pay attention in the same ways, though!

This is why I'm so against the demand for eye contact by society and other people. You're asking me to sacrifice my ability to actually pay attention to you so you can have the outward aesthetic of feeling like someone is paying attention to you.

I mean this leads to a broader discussion on how neurotypical social norms are built around aesthetics of function over true function, but that's a topic for another day lol.

How To Network 🤝📱💬

Have a Plan: Because everyone is important, it's really important to know what you're good at. Before you go to any networking event, figure out what you're good at – like things you can do well, what you know, and the people you know. Plan what you want to talk about, especially how you can help others, either now or later on.

Start with Who You Know: Talk to people you already know, like friends and colleagues. Ask if they can introduce you to others.

Go to Events: Attend conferences, seminars, workshops, industry meetups, and social gatherings related to your field of interest.

Use Social Media: Make profiles on websites like LinkedIn or Instagram to meet people in your niche online.

Elevator Pitch: Create a concise and engaging intro that highlights who you are, what you do, and what you're seeking. This way you can make a strong first impression.

Ask Good Questions: When you talk to someone, ask questions that show you're interested in what they're saying.

Provide Value: Networking is a two-way street. Offer your expertise, assistance, or connections to others whenever possible. When you start paying attention to what people can do, you might see that one person could help another person. Try to introduce people who you think have something valuable to share. When you make these good connections, you're helping the networking event go well. This will help you establish a good reputation and create strong relationships.

Say Thank You: After meeting, send a message to say you enjoyed the talk.

Follow up & Follow Through: If you said you would talk to someone later, make sure you actually do it and let them know you're still happy to help. If you promised to introduce one person to another, take a moment to make that introduction.These small things really matter to people, and just one introduction could make someone's life better.

Meet Different People: Don't just talk to the same kind of people. Meet people from different jobs and places.

Never dismiss anyone as unimportant: Don't think someone is not important just because of their job title. They could know important things or have helpful friends you wouldn't know about if you didn't give them a chance.

Join Groups: Be part of clubs or groups related to your work. You can meet more people there.

Be Yourself: Just be you. Don't pretend to be someone else.

Learn New Things: Keep learning about your interests. It helps you have better conversations.

Femme Fatale Guide: Tips To Become More Emotionally Intelligent

Embrace self-awareness & self-reflection: Observe how you feel, behave, and how people generally respond to your words/actions in different situations

Practice self-regulation: Learn to differentiate between your feelings and the actions that would be appropriate in a specific setting or interaction. Internalize that feelings are fleeting and non-factual. You're in control of how you respond/(don't) act on these emotions

Engage in active listening: Pay attention to what others are saying with the intent of understanding, not responding

Focus on emotional differentiation: Understand where your thoughts, feelings, intentions, and opinions end and another person's identity/perception begins

Display radical empathy and acceptance: Understand that almost all people's words and actions result from their own beliefs, past experiences, and current life circumstances/priorities. Put yourself in their shoes when attempting to understand their choices, behaviors, and times they come to you to discuss a problem, success, or major life decision. Accept that you can only control what you do. Very little of other people's actions/the world's workings are personal. Things are happening around you, not to you

Let go of your ego: View yourself as objectively as possible with the potential for improvement. Abolish any superior complex or overwhelming desire to prove your self-importance in others' lives and decisions

Remain open-minded: Question your own beliefs and opinions. Stay curious as to why you believe them to be true/authentic to you. Allow your opinions to change or have the capacity to modify your beliefs upon hearing new information. Understand your worldview and values are valid, but they're not definitively correct beliefs, just because they resonate/feel comfortable for you

Be receptive to feedback: Embrace constructive criticism as a self-improvement tool. Approach it with curiosity and optimism, not as a personal attack

Differentiate between your feelings and capabilities: Your thoughts are not facts. Remember you can do things you don't feel like doing most of the time (work, waking up in the morning, working out, etc.). Learn the difference between being a slave to your emotions and genuinely running out of energy

Voting in polls can go either way for the purpose of this question, if only because I was running up against the text limit on a lot of options already.

Reblog so all the lurkers can (anonymously) let themselves be known! And sample size, or whatever.

Embracing Neurodiversity: The Beauty of Autism and Friendships

The Autistic Teacher

Note:

I know this posts mentions autistic people having empathy, but I wanted to add that there are autistic people out there who don’t experience empathy. This does not make someone a bad person. It just means that they don’t understand why people feel the way they feel. And that’s okay.

Character A is a shy touch starved and babbles incoherently every time Character B touches him/her/their

Character A is shorter or has shorter legs than Character B and has to jog to his side every time they walk together.

Character A laughs heartily at Character B's bad jokes.

Character B loves to stroke Character A's hair when he has his head resting on his lap just to see him smile sweetly.

Character A doesn't drink alcohol so every time they are at a party, character B doesn't drink alcohol either so as not to make her feel alone.

Character A told character B that he always wanted to learn to play the guitar so character B bought him one and taught him how to play it.

Character B really likes comis, one day character A buys him a special edition that he always wanted.

Character A really enjoys going bowling, Character B doesn't like it but does it for her.

Character A is bothered by loud noises so Character B covers his ears every time that happens.

Character A once gave a macrame bracelet to character B and he still keeps it fondly even though a lot of time has passed and character A does not know it.

Bit of advice if you really struggle with social interaction especially if you're young

Do not comment on anything about a person that involves a number

Examples

Age

Weight

Height

Income

Etc

Basically if it's something about a person you can write down in numbers then it's probably considered sensitive

That includes the price of anything they own. Unless they offer a number up themselves you do not ask and most importantly you do not guess

I know a lot of people are going to think this is obvious but it's not obvious to everyone so I wanted to share

Also if you accidentally tread on one of these topics the best way to handle it is to say "I'm sorry, that was rude of me. I didn't mean it rudely but I shouldn't have said that." And then change topics. Lingering on it, even to apologise, will just make it worse

Just words of advice from a 39 year old autistic person who fucked this up a lot as a teenager. Learn from my mistakes

I don’t really get the point of saying “hello” and “goodbye” to people, so I pretty much never do. If I’m starting a conversation, I start with the topic I wanted to talk about, and if I’m done with the conversation I’ll stop talking/ walk off. I also find it very unnatural to acknowledge people I know when running into them unexpectedly. I usually just stare down at the floor and try to act like I didn’t see them. If they wave or say hi to me, I try to reciprocate, but I sometimes forget or take way too long to respond.
