just adding to #1’s comment, but like… that’s the point of talking? two ppl are gonna talk to form a friendship. to gain knowledge. to help someone. and every time you talk to someone, you want them to have a response. idk. i just feel like that social worker is a fucking dumbass in the wrong career ig lmao

For me personally maybe that’s true but like sometimes the thing I want is to info-dump or get information and I honestly think I could argue this for literally anyone. Like oh why are you talking to them, cause you want to gossip (get information), cause you want to make a friend, cause you want to make sure you’re maintaining the bond with that person

Like ok my girlfriend constantly argues that she’s selfish because everything that she does is because she wants something, and more often than not that thing is to see her friends be happier or the feeling when you give someone something. So like, honestly, what is the argument, that you shouldn’t do things because you want something out of it?? Why does anyone do anything????

that makes a lot of sense thank you i'd never really thought of it that way before! in my case it was more like saying autistic people only talk to others for purely selfish reasons. like, not caring abt other ppls emotions just ourselves. it just makes me anxious ppl think that whenever i talk to them even though ik its not actually the case, if that makes sense

this makes sm sense thank you! my anxiety abt it is more like her insinuating i don't care abt other ppls feelings, which is so not true if anything i care too much abt their's and not mine lmao. but her saying that just makes me worried other ppl think the same idk
