How it feels when someone in a group realizes ur not the best with social cues or interactions in general and notices how u don't process information that well/differently and takes extra time to make sure ur comfy and explain thing to you:

#like ILYSMMM TYYY #normal people scare me #like social cues are HARD WTF #like omg ty ilysm #jett posts #might be neruodivergnt #questiong neurodivegent

Magenta and Columbia’s part of “Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me” in the 1975 film be like

#reese rambles #rocky horror #To me at least #I’m autistic af and bad at social cues #My bf thought they were having a pillow fight though??? #But yeah I was there confused all: #Okay are you two fucking or just making fun of Janet #Can someone clear up wtf was going on #I am not a smart man #columbia rocky horror #magenta rocky horror

Revelation: my whole life, when I've responded to sarcasm seriously, people have been like "uh...why you so serious... I was being sarcastic..." and it makes me insane because like... duh? Why am I not allowed to respond to sarcasm seriously? Why does it have to be treated as hOw DiD yOu MiSs ThAt I wAs KiDdInG? Basically: why is it framed as me failing when I absolutely knew it was sarcasm?

Anyway, this just happened with my wife (no shade, it's very rare with her as compared to like, my uncle, and I told her it made me uncomfortable, we're good, it was just the spur to the revelation) and I think I've realized why it happens and why it bothers me so much.

It's always framed as me missing something, but it's not.

I knew they were being sarcastic, and I chose to respond seriously.

THEY failed to interpret MY response.

Or: damn boy (genderneutral) sorry my Yes, And game is just SO FUCKIN SUPERIOR yall should work on recognizing deadpan. Skill issue.

#unforth rambles #ive always blamed myself for this like i was missing a social cue for making it clear that i was riffing #or that i was choosing to answer seriously instead of laughing or whatever the fuck they expected me to do instead of what i did #my uncle used to frequently make me feel like shit about this to the point that i just stopped acknolwedging his sarcasm at all #but having the exchange with my wife who its usually not an issue with #helped me recognizr that what really happened just now was #she made a joke and i made a bid to yes and that joke #because also i would be fine with a pink roof actually #and she just completely missed the big #er the bid #this has never been my skill issue #it is the skill issue of the other person #im feeling extremely vindicated right now for the lifetime of people whove made me feel like shit over this common type of exchange #next time someone does this to me imma just stare them down and say skill issue and let them figure out wtf i mean 🤣

BRO WHAT

"i can see your soul is in pain boo" from reading this fuckn tweet yeah it is

Okay but good on Winston for feeling that tiny paper in Julia’s hand and understanding he needed to hold onto it. When someone tried to do that to me with an entire gold bracelet, I fucking dropped it on the floor. All I was thinking was “Wow why is this lady squeezing my hand for so long? I don’t like it,” and backed out without realizing she wanted me to grab the hard metal thing in her hand. I could feel it, but I thought it was her keys or something.

#1984 #nineteen eighty four #“I’m great with nonverbal social cues!” Also me: #Please no one ever do that to me again; I’m too socially awkward to catch on #I also hated it when girls would try to whisper to me across the room expecting me to read their lips and head nods #I would just furrow my brow at them and cock my head like wtf are u on bitch. I can’t fucking interpret that #Just talk to me after class is over #Just because I look like a girl doesn’t mean I have some kind of secret access code to your weird dialect

[beecass]

I actually relate to will a lot bc I too, would still ask if a girl was in love with me even after she pulled the full package of moves hannibal did to show his love for will

#me and will graham share the same brain #will graham is stupid #i am stupid #wtf is a social cue #will graham #hannigram #hannibal

[guinevereslancelot]

is there anything worse than a failed social interaction 🤡

#when will i stop saying words 😐 #im cringing so hard rn can i stop existing please #me: haha funnie joke :) #fellow internet user i hoped would take it in good humor: BONK! public humiliation time #it wasn't even a mean joke i dont understand i fucking hate social cues wtf 😭 #why are they mad at me :( #i even checked to make sure they liked the ship i mentioned wtf 😭 #autism tag #i didn't even make it as a comment so it wasn't annoying it was a tag on a post with thousands of notes kill meeee #they probably didn't like the implication that the ship was toxic or something idk maybe they're not mad and im just stupid #🤡🤡🤡 #i hate the fact that im still too dumb to figure out what i did wrong 🤡🔫 #?????

I swear mfrs on IG move so weeeiirrd. I fw the tumblr peeps bc they ok w being weird. W being themselves

#so many ppl do this on ig #like wtf wrong w yall #you cant say thank you?? #its goes deeper than this obviously #this is just one social cue #but like.... #its always the mfs with 5000+ followers who forget how society works

[veshialles]

every mention of w*lly w*kna gives me war flashbacks for real😭

#top 10 mortifying high school memories that will haunt me to my grave✌️ #''hey why does seeing myself as an old man with a gruff voice make me want to tear my skin off?... #huh. ah well! I guess we'll never know! gender dysphoria who? lmao'' #like besties i was soooo far in that closet dear god #and also fuck how could i forget the deeply awkward situationship i was in for 3 weeks with one of the other cast members😭 #she broke up with me after the show ended #but then later invited me to see another play she was in and her whole family was there just glaring daggers at me the entire time #except for her grandpa who smiled at me and waved lmao #in retrospect i was so autistic and probably missed MANY social cues that were happening but like wtf was THAT about girlie <3 #ruby rambles

Ok, so what am I gonna do with the hour or so I have before going to bed? Keeping in mind that Mark is away, and I have a bunch of things I would love to get around to. My list so far:

Trace dungaree dress pattern so I can have both the original and a smaller sized pattern (it's good for 3 year olds and 8 year olds - don't think I have enough fabric though)

Bite the bullet and print off 24+ sheets of paper to sellotape up a pattern for myself

Start a jigsaw

Write fanfic

Watch Stranger Things (only on ep four of S1 so shush)

Eat chocolate and veg out on the couch

And that's after I've loaded the dishwasher, which will need Tetris precision as I made Mac and cheese today.

Suggest something! Anything!

#life #rl #considering what has happened in the time mark has been away i'm pleasantly surprised I'm still awake #he left for doncaster yesterday at 3pm #at 7pm (whilst paying for a grocery shop) I realised i had no way of unlocking my house as my keys were inside #cue panics #had a hysterical laugh in the car then a massive crying jag in my parents house (the spare key I left there was for the old lock) #but after that I pulled myself together and looked at the social landlord's website for wtf to do #i was in my house by 8:35pm #ny children were still at my parents house having dinner but I got in to feed the cat and grab my keys #so yeah... will probs get on with the pattern tracing as i watch stranger things XD

Life is an unsolvable Rubik’s cube and I’m the color blind motherfucker who thought I could solve it .

#my brain simply can’t take it anymore #wtf are social cues anyway #mother of god why do you insist on being so god damn vague #Motherfucker is really dancing on my nerves to the mambo number 5 #you have to tell me outright I hate trying to decipher people mid convo #work is a lot #people remain indecipherable and I remain fucking stupid #i feel like the character in a show everyone yells at #sorry guys #i annoy myself #shit post

[walkingaftermidnight07]

i am very confused today

#i cannot read social cues to save my life #and they're the most confusing person ive met #i should just fucking ask them wtf is going on but im also a coward </3

[buckys-robot-arm]

Everything is ruined and now I’m fired for sure because I sent in the form a day late

#may get kicked off the club board because I don’t get social cues and then ruin someone’s day because of it #half of the issues the pres brought up could’ve easily been solved if the board members I upset told me ‘hey please don’t say that to me’ #instead of going right to A. some stuff I can chalk up to overstimulation/overwhelm in the moment but he wouldn’t see that. only my reaction #and I try so fucking hard to internalize it and not let my stress come out. he doesn’t even see how long little things have been building up #and I don’t expect anyone to as I can’t even see it #but there’s so many times ig I say the wrong thing and idek(hello? autism?)that I did. bc nobody communicates!! #and now bc I submitted the form a day after exactly 2 weeks. we’d have to move the meeting a day later. and our meetings aren’t on Tuesdays #and now L is just always looking at me with disdain and I cant just ask her wtf I did wrong bc I said there was no need to mention any of it #and she’s also dating A so I know he tells her EVERYTHING about what I did. I’m positive she knows about the impeachment #she wouldn’t look at me like that otherwise. it’s like there’s no light in her eyes when she isn’t laughing/smiling and looking at me #I just want people to tell me that they do in fact hate me bc that’s a lot simpler to deal with than radio silence and ambiguous looks #just tell me that I’m an idiot who doesn’t have their shit together and won’t make it in the world being disorganized #and unable to bring myself to talk about other people’s conversations #I needed to rant here bc half the people on my priv story are all fucking 6 degrees of separation from A. and he’d know. somehow #at least nobody irl knows what my url is. some people know I’m on here. but they certainly don’t have a clue what I go by at least
