does anyone else do the neurodiverse thing where you’re trying to politely engage in a one-on-one conversation but eye contact is really intense and distracting so you try to make excuses to look elsewhere so you can actually process the conversation better but you know you can’t look at the ground too long or it’ll be weird so you nosedive right in and STARE AT THE OTHER PERSON DEAD IN THE EYES LIKE MHM MHM MHM NODDING ALONG but because you were concentrating so hard you forgot to breathe normally and were lowkey holding your breath but if you look visibly out of breath for no reason that’ll be STRANGE TOO so now you’re breathing through your nose and you can’t look them in the eye so you QUICKLY AND UNNATURALLY LOOK AWAY LIKE THE VERY SIGHT OF THEM DISGUSTED YOU and now every inch of your face feels vaguely out of place and Forced and you have no choice but to leave the conversation immediately

#do neurotypical people just. not think about this. do they just position their faces normally ???#see with people I’m comfy with this is not a problem because I just don’t look them in the eye LMAO #like I might sometimes. for a brief moment. but I’ll literally talk to you without looking at you NSBSBSHDHHD #and it’s sad too because I am actually interested in what the other person is saying and I wanna give them my full attention #the funniest thing was realising my manager is actually neurodiverse too and doesn’t look people in the eye either LMAO #SO WE LITERALLY NEVER LOOK AT EACH OTHER WHEN WE TALK BUT DIDN’T REALISE IT BEFORE BECAUSE NEITHER OF US WERE PAYING ATTENTION 😭 bless #adhd things #autism things #slay !!!#ghost speaks
