#❥ 𝐒𝐈 𝐔 、dash game #ok last one i promise #si-u has been in the habit since a very young age of trying to take up as little space as possible and be as little a burden/concern as #he possibly can #this comes through in his speech a lot in how quiet he is (to the point he's often hard to hear & gets asked to repeat himself regularly)#as well as how little he'll talk about himself and how he often won't be fully honest about his feelings or how he's doing #he's extremely polite bc he's terrified of accidentally insulting or upsetting someone #and he thinks far too much about what he's saying; what he's going to say; how he says things. socializing severely exhausts him bc of this #he's watchful of himself to a fault and he's afraid of being perceived #yes this is all learned behaviour based on trauma. yes a lot of this trauma specifically has to do with growing up autistic.#(but also blind/disabled as a whole and like. inconsistent family life too)#ANYWAY....... the tags on these have almost been longer than the post itself askjfds
