Idk who needs to hear this but i am so tired of social greasing (Socializing.exe)
i’m out here trying to translate neurotypical scripts like it’s a foreign language. apparently
we should hang soon! actually means goodbye
i'm 5 mins away actually means i am currently looking for my keys in my pajamas
how are you? is just a trap where you aren't actually allowed to say how you are
i’m not trying to be difficult, i just actually value authenticity? if i tell you i want to see you, i’m literally looking at my calendar. if i say i’m 5 mins away, i’m 300 seconds away.
it feels so fake to me that "politeness" is just a bunch of white lies we all agreed to tell. i’d honestly rather have the blunt truth than a nice sounding script any day
does anyone else feel like they're glitching when people do this? or am i the only one who thinks being direct is actually a form of respect?
Just to be clear, this isn't an attack on individuals. It’s an observation of a system. I truly believe that connection is impossible without truth, and by making lying the social norm, we are effectively killing our ability to trust and support one another as a society
