99% just my autism speaking here but something ive been noticing lately that im sorta kinda 😶 about is when ppl are like "I think you'll like this" but not bc they ACTUALLY think you'll like it, rather they just got into it and want you to also get into it so "I think you'll like this" is a nice personal hook. i love chill stuff as much as any other person ofc but given i don't divulge that EVER, what makes you think my berserk reading, made in abyss watching, drakengard playing ass would like YURU CAMP????

#gu6chan's musings #am i just taking the phrase too literally???? like i appreciate the thought but also.... what agitates me is the fact theres not any #when i say something among the lines of 'i think YOU'LL like this' or 'This made me think of you' like #its bc i think of THAT PERSON IN PARTICULAR or think THAT PERSON IN PARTICULAR would like it #again it's probably just autism brain taking figures of speech too literally but i HATE it bc it just makes me feel like #all the times i shared my interests meant nothinggggg typically i just ask 'neat; what makes you think ill like it?' and ppl start stumbling #and im like :(#whats rlly funny in this case is not only the fact i had only ever established my love of dark fantasy and mystery to this person #but they also flatout asked 'youre not really into modern media much are you' to which the answer was 'not much lol'#and i said the reasons i dont care for 'cute girls doing cute things' anime (re: k-on) is bc if i have the time to watch it then i at LEAST #wanna spend it watching a series that's???? not 'the point of it is to relax :)'??? i can sleep for that #anyways like 2 days later they said they said they think id REALLY like this new anime they've been watching lately and I was like 'oh?'#and it was yuru camp.... and internally i was like 'are you fucking kidding me' but on the outside i was like 'oh sweet what makes you think #id like it? id love some new media recommendations especially if they're newer shows bc ive been having SO MUCH TROUBLE trying to find #something interesting that isn't from 2008'#and they sent me a picture of the most generic anime girl ever and they're like 'it has really cute girls' and then i just wanted to kms #like.... this isn't bc you thought id like it; is it.....#wanted to die internally but i played it cool and was like 'oh no; i appreciate it thoughtfulness and all but i don't think this is for me'#also the time where someone recommended signalis to me and i was like 'oh?' and they were like 'YEAH its SO good the people who made it #were even INSPIRED off of Nier' KNOWING FULL WELL I DIDN'T LIKE IT AND THE AMOUNT MY ENTHUSIASM JUST DIED... i was like #'oh. well that will be a pass then' and they tried backpedaling like 'well it's not SUPER inspired; i didn't know you HATED nier :(' like #my past 15 posts on my twitter werent me realising that the game was absolute garbage and calling it the most regretful thing ive ever spent #money on during my attempted playthrough 😭 i was like 'thanks; but I'll pass' to which they then responded by promptly sending me #signalis memes i had absolutely no idea how to respond to WITHOUT making it seem like i was super annoyed so i was just kinda 😶 and didn't #reply and they were like 'sorry :(' and i was like 'haha it's okay! i just have absolutely no idea how to respond to this joke i dont #understand at ALL'#was probably one of the more awkward interactions ive ever had but genuinely speaking i was so INTERESTED until they brought up that it was #inspired by nier i literally psychically felt all the enthusiasm leaving my body from 'damn; i might actually have to look into this' to #'oh well that's a bullet dodged' did not trust the backtracking either....
