See, you do understand. The farce that you don’t so you can label yourself ND is idiotic
- Comment on I'm on the spectrum. How do I live the rest of my life? 1 day ago:
Spoiler alert: none of us actually care about how anyone else’s weekends were or how the other person’s kids are doing. You’re just being intentionally obtuse and tedious

We all have to interact with people. That’s living in a community. But when you do, being nice is all it takes. “He’s a really nice guy, he’s just kinda quiet.” This isn’t an uncommon thing to hear about others. It’s literally a common type of person. But then there are assholes. The way you’re describing it you just don’t care to be nice and you’ve found an excuse in neurodivergence that you’re latching onto.

I guess it’s ‘good’ I can ‘change’ if I so decide? but really, change, for what?
Read some ethics philosophers, not a book about whether you being rude and off putting means you’re neurodivergent.

I’ve been accused behind my back of being manipulative, uncaring, rude, and also a sociopath. Once this impression is given, it is impossible to make people change their minds, including management. I usually don’t fight it because, really, fighting gossip? that’s sticking to 5 year old level politics and what’s the point?
Welcome to being an adult. We all think it’s asinine. Some people get wrapped up and completely engrossed in it. They make petty office politics their entire existence. Some people play the game but only to rise through the ranks. Some people stay out of it. You don’t really fit into any of these categories, it seems. It kinda just sounds like you’re a bit of a dick. That doesn’t make you ND, some people are just kinda dicks.
And I don’t mean that as a slight. Some of my best friends I would classify as being dicks. But it’s everything else you bring to the table that matters. Are you so good at what you do that people put up with it? Or are you just kind of a dick with no redeeming qualities?
Finding reasons for being unlikeable or off-putting doesn’t change the fact that that’s how people see you. You don’t sound ND, you just sound like you don’t care to change. That’s different

This is the problem with self-diagnoses. There is a fine line between being uncaring and being unable to care. One is a bad person, the other person is possibly BPD.
OP, until you get diagnosed with something, leave your excuses for being a dick aside and work on bettering yourself. Even if you end up being unable, it still doesn’t mean you have Asperger’s. Because bad people still refuse to change sometimes.

Off topic but my brain kept reading “secret Kennedy” and I was wondering how many fucking kennedys there were if we’re discovering secret ones

Contrary to what would seem logical, you’re actually supposed to shake them side to side, canceling out the fizz. It’s best to open it up right afterward as well, while holding it under your nose. Old wives trick

I have a periscopic girlfriend. She sticks her little eyeball up the to the surface so I can stay under the water cruising along and fire nukes and kill the Russians and Germans

I don’t think it’s a book on accents, its a phonetic book for learning English. I have one for learning French, it’s in English phonetic to pronounce French words. Just a different way to learn the language.
