I always feel the need to over explain myself or write all the context of a situation. But idk sometimes I think the context is important. if I don’t explain something fully, it gives room for misinterpretation. Bc tone can’t be interpreted easily in text

i’ve been talking to my bf about this a lot lately. he’s more on the spectrum than me and in different ways and i always tell him the sad reality of neurotypicals is that they are CONSTANTLY misunderstanding each other because they don’t care for context or explanation. they are living in their own realities and they hate when you break that mold. i’m sorry. it’s actually devastating i’m ngl

I can’t help it sometimes and will type out paragraphs and then have to edit it so it fits the word count 😭

that’s so real :( really just try to surround yourself with other neurodivergent people who also like to have all the context and explain everything. it’s very refreshing
