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
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.
Nah this has nothing to do with being or not being neurotypical
This thing is true in certain cases but also a lot of the time there is no culprit, some people are just socially anxious for no particular reason, and even if you are not socially anxious, just generally it drains a lot of energy for some people to be in social situations, so they could be very crazy or even annoying but you won’t know unless you personally know them well or happen to be present at a time and place they feel fresh
Hello
It’s me
There’s a Bocchi the Rock community!? I’ve been missing out
Yes, and there are actually some occasional posts, even.
I have subscribed for just such an occasion.
Yall go into public spaces?
Who did you imagine is the same at home and in public?
