Thank you for putting that into words!!! I always felt like something was weird with me for just kinda feeling normal after a death

do you know what causes the “struggling to miss people” thing? :< i’m pretty sure i’ve been in denial about experiencing that myself cause i was scared it meant i was “a bad person” or something

This is so real. Back in 2020 one of the people who was vital to my growth as a kid passed and even now I still miss her but like only when I remember she exists? Like if that makes any sense ig?

I feel that so hard. Someone close to me will die and I’ll not be like morning at all. (Seeing other people cry about it makes me cry but the actual death doesn’t) and some of my family doesn’t understand that and thinks I’m heartless.

honestly i’ve felt guilt about it but im also glad im like that bc i think being in a bad state for too long would mess with me and now i can remember the happy memories of the person/pet

neurodivergents can struggle with “emotional permanence” which is similar to object permanence. if you can’t see the thing, it doesnt exist anymore.

augh. now that you mention it, i guess i’ve heard the term before. though i certainly wouldn’t fault any other neurodivergent people for dealing with that, it makes me feel kind of alien to think about for myself
