canadian white liberal exceptionalism is giving "not like other white people" vibes and it's not cute
like when it's "not like other girls" it's internalized misogyny, so if it's "not like other white people" maybe it's internalized colonizer guilt?? speak the truth we know what it is

My proposal for this feeling:
infolocking - when an autist feels obligated to explain a topic in full despite sensing a declining interest from the other person in a conversation, for the sake of clear communication
infolocking - when an autist feels obligated to explain a topic in full despite sensing a declining interest from the other person in a conversation, for the sake of clear communication
Y'all know that feeling when you're halfway through telling someone about something and you realize they aren't remotely interested but it's *way* too late to bail on the conversation so you just sweat and finish the idea?
Is that an autism thing, just a human thing, or a little of both?

YESS!! I am (socially) punished when I ask questions or assert myself because people see me as “meek submissive Asian girl” and when I get confrontational they hate me. It’s like a weird double misogyny bc both Chinese and western cultures don’t like it when women speak up.

Ok is this misogyny? I have heard this sentiment from several men now and almost always directed at women:
“Wow it’s so great you have so many interests to occupy your time”
Like wtf does that mean? Is life just “killing time” for some people? Am I supposed to feel complimented for having hobbies?

This is wild, but sadly not surprising. And also the essential spirit of capitalism.
I wonder how many rich people still benefit from this scheme that profited from selling garbage?

Fun fact, there was a lightbulb cartel that utilized planned obsolescence to shorten the lifespan of bulb tech, creating needless waste, entirely for profit. The cartel was incorporated by US companies in the 20s.

Theory about coffee - #adhd vs #autism
ADHD: your under stimulated brain is seeking stimulation so it naturally goes really fast. Coffee shocks you, causes brain to be overwhelmed with stimuli all at once, then 😴
Autism: typically hyper detailed brain speeds up to NT levels

Working in #nonprofit as an #autistic is wild like I can’t accept that people in this field “care about social causes” but also have meetings at fancy-as-fuck hotels with catering

- being overly friendly to strangers (my stranger danger is 0 or 100)
- assuming others share the same values as me
- assuming others share the same values as me
But now I know what that actually looks like for me so here it is:
- keeping “friends” around for too long who aren’t good for us bc I didn’t realize how they exploited me
- treating new acquaintances like good friends and sharing too much w/o realizing that we don’t know them that well
- keeping “friends” around for too long who aren’t good for us bc I didn’t realize how they exploited me
- treating new acquaintances like good friends and sharing too much w/o realizing that we don’t know them that well
Ok I used to be confused how my #autism could be “too trusting” like I’m not giving out my credit card number to strangers
