And half of these norms make no logical sense 😅 and the only justification people have for me is "its just how it is" like ffs 😂

One of the things that fuels imposters syndrome for me is this feeling that maybe I have more of a sense of social rules than I am supposed to. I know my mother taught me some of them. I also have the distinct sense that I have always been oblivious to a lot of the ones I don’t know, that I am simply unaware that they exist. I think this last has something to do with the social anxiety which crops up routinely after an interaction, and has gradually become debilitating over decades. It’s like I can sense that I blew it but am not sure why. But the thing that makes me feel feel the most like I really am autistic is that the rules I am aware of I have never liked, can’t pull off, especially in real time, and...I really don’t see why the way I interact is wrong, because it feels right and comfortable to me. Why is it so unacceptable?

I have often been told “you’re an adult! You should know/understand this!” Um…ok…what exactly should I know or understand? “If you don’t know by now then I’m not going to tell you!” 🤨 What⁉️You want me to understand something that you refuse to tell me but still expect me to know what you think I should know⁉️🤔 “You don’t have to be sarcastic about it!” Um…what ⁉️😳 “I’m not talking to you!” 🤨 (Walks away and then comes back 10 minutes later.) “So are you ready to stop playing games with me?” 😣 I don’t know what you’re talking about! “Ok there’s no talking to you so I’m walking away now!” 🤨 I have no clue what that was about! What was I supposed to know? I don’t know what that was about but if I am supposed to know something then you need to tell me what I am supposed to know? How can I know what I don’t know? Saying “you know” does not tell me what you think I should know! 🤨 Do you know?

I really thought this was going to talk about logical fallacies when you said politics. As a very logical person, they really hurt me, and they're so confidently/ straightforwardly said that it makes me think I am dumb or overthinking when it just actually doesn't make sense.

I'm autistic. Social norms and unwritten rules have been a huge minefield for me for as long as I can remember. Furthermore, I have a history of what I would call "drawing lines in the wrong places".

I haaaaaaaates it.

Its sad cause its true. The rule thingy breaks me everytime, as it is also an unwritten rule what is or isn't an unwritten rule. Also, really, something that is supposed to be inevitably innate needs an oddly descriptive name? I think, hell breaks loose anytime those rules come too close to words and specificity cause it forces people to realize that the only rule everybody ever agreed on, was not talking about 'the rules', that the only agreement is silence. Well, maybe also on alienating neurodivergent people. The more ignorance the rules require, the more you are expected to act according to the rules. Like obviously fake-laughing affirmingly, when people use phrases to put their wisdom on display. Obeying the rules, is even more important if a person sais somthing stupid, like: War unites people, haha. Even though the person is a complete stranger on a bus and your friend sitting next to you, gasps out loud, you have to take the high road, always and you better teach that friend of yours to smile a little more. Who cares if they survived and fled an actual war. Rules that can't be named, cannot be changed.

Thank and praise God in the name of Jesus Christ for writing down his rules, commands.
