I can’t relate to people who don’t want attention on their birthday at all, if I go to work on my birthday and my coworker is like “hi how are you?” im like “im a birthday girl :)” immediately
hey fun drinking game take a shot every time you see an autistic trait being described under the break (it’s a long one so you may wanna pace yourself lol)
I've been struggling with thoughts of alienation lately
specifically, the feeling that i have to shut off parts of myself to show off other parts of myself
like, the people who would want to hear me talk about green day don’t want to hear me talk about the aquabats (trust me, if i were braver i would write the fic where 2000 Light Years Away was written about the Martian Girl from Planet V) don’t want to hear me talk about pokemon don’t want to hear me talk about the yakuza games don’t want to hear me talk about mae don’t want to hear me talk about pos tech don’t want to hear me talk about neurodivergence and so on and so forth
and i know-even if just superficially-that it’s probably just because those other people don’t have the same experiences that i do and just aren’t interested in the same shit that i am and it’s not really fair to them for me to expect them to match my energy because i know if anyone in those circles started talking about aerosmith or the trails series or whatever my eyes would glaze over and inwardly i would pray for the time when i could be excused to go watch paint dry instead
but my feelings about those things don’t exist in a vacuum or even remotely insulated from one another. they influence my feelings not just about those things but about the world around me (feel free to refer back to the 2000LYA/MG example in the parentheses above) and to try and shut those other parts of myself out to experience camaraderie with people who only show interest in the one thing just makes me not want to talk to anyone about anything ever
yknow it took a meme for me to realize every member of greenday is bisexual however, i also didnt really look at pictures of the band greenday before that and like
how was this ever a question? like no shade but this group is like if danny elfman, american flavored gerard way and the “i will find you and i will kill you” guy got blasted with an emo fruitification beam and formed a band
who cares abt favorite songs i wanna know what song you hate more than anything. like it makes you violent bc it sucks so bad. mine is shiny happy people by REM it sounds like shit
