This might sound mean but idk when I see posts about communication on this site I'm super skeptical. Like half of this site is autistic/has adhd and so I feel like half the time what's actually happening is "people in my life are straight up telling me what they need or want but I either can't understand it, can't meet that need or just don't want to so it's probably a communication issue on THEIR end. Time to make 50 posts on how I can't mind read" meanwhile their partner or friend is crying and just wants a hug and they can't just like. Do that without being told and so it feels like a cosmic guessing game and people expecting telekinesis when it's just basic relationship shit. Just an observation

#ramblings #trying not to come off as one of those ''disability is no excuse to have a disability'' people #I'm just curious how much mental health advice on this site is like. based on the fact that many people...can't intuitively like #just care for other people. to me a friend crying and giving comfort is just what you do even if you don't feel their pain #like. one time I was crying over the cat and the stress of everything and not once did my bf think to get off his ass and give me a hug #which fair. I didn't tell him to. but like. is it...that hard to actually do that without an instruction manual on how to care for others #especially when I hug him or do the same when he's stressed or sad and he likes it lol #idk it just clicks with me when I see posts about relationships on here and I'm like. I wonder how much effort you put into doing the same
