God, its insane how autistic people are supposed to be the ones unable to pick up on social cues.
I, autistic, when someone is not displaying active interest in what I'm saying: oh my fucking God they don't care. They hate me. I am a burden to society. Luckily I never talk about something I am truly invested about to people outside my family.
And yet at every job I've ever had at LEAST one coworker, usually female, has decided that I am the perfect sounding board for every problem they have, both at work and at home. They will bitch and bitch and bitch at me and the entire time I'm standing there in silence like
And it apparently NEVER occurs to them that my silence and expression of total indifference means that I don't care and don't want to hear. Like!!! Bruh!!!! If I TOLD you I don't care then you'd go around telling everyone what a mean bitch I am, but all these precious Social Cues I'm supposed to be unable to recognize are FAILING TO PENETRATE YOUR SKULL. and the worst is when they seem irritated that I'm not UPSET ALONG WITH THEM. like girl I do not know how to tell you that I don't care that you dropped your apple watch and it broke. Its not my watch. Sorry that it's just not that deep to me. Ok, like five years ago they took away your key to the gate and told you that you were lucky you still had a job. Ok. Sorry, but I'm just like not that fucking invested idk what the hell you want me to do.
That's another thing that sucks about being back in the garden center is that I'm back to being The Bitching Post. Like girl I DO NOT CARE. We are not friends. We are coworkers.
