Omg it’s so refreshing talking to other neurodivergents where we can just share our related experiences and everyone feels uplifted instead of stripped of their spotlight 🥹

1/2 Cheat sheet: ‘I know what you mean, I’ve had a similar experience! How did you feel about X?’ Now you’ve related but allow them to continue. Then when they’re done you can say

I’ve never understood why people don’t like when you relate to them. Like I’m telling you I understand how you feel and giving you advice. What else can I do?!?!😭

dont have autism [i might] but so real like how am i supposed to respond like. people tzll me i talk about myself too much but how do i keep the conversation going without my own relations to my life
It doesn’t make you a bad person for wanting to relate or share an experience but it doesn’t make it any less hurtful or invalidating for the person on the other end NT or not

I have no idea how to show empathy without doing this. Do they honestly feel supported if people just say "Oh, that sucks." That seems so disingenuous

I've had to learn to actively go "hmm yes I understand" and STOP THERE 💀 Thankfully my fellow autistics don't mind 🤣

Joseph :
It took a long time to stop this for me. What made it easy is when I realized most people only care about themselves and pretend to care about others. So I just stopped caring about most people
