As an #ActuallyAutistic person, my brain rejects social constructs, it always has. If I don't understand something, if it doesn't make sense to me on a fundamental level, I can't participate in it. If I try it feels like lying and lying feels like my internal organs are boiling inside of me.
I've been thinking about how the concept of rudeness is a social construct. It's completely subjective. What is considered rude can be cultural, regional, etc and so much of it doesn't make sense to me. So many things that are considered rude are completely innocuous things. I'm rude and inconsiderate because I ask questions? Well I think you're rude for judging my character based on a set of made up fake rules.

@dyinglikeastar

If asking questions is rude, how are you ever supposed to gain knowledge?

Or perhaps that is the point: to keep you a dumb sheep 🤔

@jlindley Sometimes that genuinely does feel like the point. Don't talk about anything, don't think about anything, don't ask questions, just pretend.
