a bottom-tier autistic experience is being told throughout your entire childhood that you are just an overthinker when it comes to social situations and later finding out that your friends did, in fact, hate being around you and tried to communicate that through weird little hints
"«Ich habe alles längst bedacht», erwiderte ich, wie im Fieber glühend, «Ich kann nicht sein, nicht leben ohne dich; ich sterbe, wenn du mir die Freiheit gibst, laß mich dein Sklave sein, töte mich, aber stoße mich nicht von dir.»"
Venus im Pelz von Leopold von Sacher-Masoch

As far as our wide wonderful world goes, you are... you are... hmm, how do I say it nicely? I assume it is not exactly possible to put such thing nicely. Let's get to the point, you are dead. Morti, kaputt, et cetera et cetera. Capisci?
The Bittersweets girl band from the 1960s is so underappreciated (or I just love 60s music too much)
I wanted to add my favourite song Summertime but it's not on spotify :(

Haha I lowkey am only capable of feeling emotional empathy towards people in which I see a significant portion of myself in and it's profoundly impacting my ability to connect with people around me and I feel like a monster hahaha what is wrong with me (like I genuinely feel more empathy towards plushies than towards people).
Couple times when someone asked me why I don't eat meat I responded with "I have empathy" but I only recently realized that it's all just cognitive empathy. When I think about cows being raped to produce milk I don't feel anything, I just know it's wrong.
There's only a handful of people I ever genuinely cared about (two of which are not even irl but from here which feels pathetic) and it's blowing my mind that normal people just feel that all the time. Most of the time if I'm afraid of upsetting someone or accidentally hurting someone it's only because I am afraid of the consequences it would have for ME. Seriously what is wrong with me? This can't be just autism.
As an adult you must cultivate the skill of “Gross! Oh, well. Not my business.”
Didn't you retweet incest porn on 9/11?
