This is because you have been bullied into not expressing your true self.

Absolutely! It's called "masking" and its incredibly common for people who aren't neurotypical because they'll be bullied otherwise.

I can assure you it also happens to neurotypical people. Or maybe I need to get diagnosed

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Nah this has nothing to do with being or not being neurotypical

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

It happens to neurotypical people, but in very different degrees. It is like one guy telling another: "I hate it when a place doesn't have elevators", and the other replies "I know, it gets me so tired to climb all the stairs!", quite oblivious to the fact that the first one is on a wheelchair.

There’s a Bocchi the Rock community!? I’ve been missing out

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes, and there are actually some occasional posts, even.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

I have subscribed for just such an occasion.

Who did you imagine is the same at home and in public?
