Comment on I'm on the spectrum. How do I live the rest of my life?

I am many people.

don’t you find it tiring? It’s extremely draining to me to fake being something I am not, specially if faking implies I have to act like an extroverted interested in a coworker’s life, including his sexual one.

One I had a coworker go on a full republican rant about how this country is going to sh%t, so… what do I do with people like this? I simply don’t care about their beliefs.

I like how you present this as a choice and not an imposition.

And it’s true. Everything you do has been your choice to do.

But don’t you see the possibilities there? Your choice!

Especially with the “ranting ones” it is so easy to give them peace (because they can hardly ever see through it): just fake a little understanding, listen just a little longer and then finish it by (for example) telling them that it was nice talking and now you are going to continue with your work.

  I don’t know. To me this “choice” feels like a natural response, a default one, the easy answer. I’m not a patient person.

    Even that is a choice.
    
    the easy answer.
    
    “Choosing” to give another answer feels completely strange, foreign, not me
    
    Oh, come on. Life starts when you get your lazy ass up and try it ; -)
