Literally half of "social cues" are pretending not to acknowledge something and hoping that leaving it unsaid draws attention to it.
The other half is ignoring something in order to not draw attention to it. An old book on manners said something like, one says "excuse me" for a burp, but if the gas emerges in the other direction, no one is to acknowledge it happened.
Do you have a link to this irrefutable research?
I think, ironically, this is you missing a social cue. Namely implied hyperbole.
Funny how quick one is to assume the neurotypical as so common it's the default. Well illustrated, stranger. I hope we all learned something. 🤗
How did they assume you are neurotypical?
I think they were saying I assumed they were neurotypical when I first responded. Which, fair, most people are.
