I was as unaware of your self-proclaimed Jewish heritage, just like I was of your supposed terminal illness you hid behind the last time. You sure seem to like to view yourself as a missile-seeking target it seems. With an uncanny ability to lower the bar to boot. Kudos.

It's a description of "neurotypical people" from the perspective of somebody who has autism/ADHD.

Neurotypicals tend to lack curiosity and passion for interests.

This is opposed to autistic people "having intense interests." If a high level of interest in a particular topic is my "normal," then other people's levels of interests seem very low by comparison.

They’re less in-touch with their senses, sometimes needing mind-altering substances in order to appreciate basic sensory stimuli.

This is opposed to autistic people "stimming" in various forms. Exploring textures, staring at interesting lights, engaging in repetitive physical movements, and more are all examples of "stimming." A lot of neurotypical people wouldn't wave their hands between their eyes and a light just to enjoy the visual (and physical) sensations that arise from it - unless they're tripping balls. Some people can't seem to appreciate a super soft blanket, a complicated painting, or how strange their own body feels, until they've taken some kind of mind-altering substance that heightens their sensory experience. Even just on thoughts and ideas alone, I can't count how many times I've said things that made people go, "What are you smoking? (And are you willing to share?)"

Not only that, but they are overly-invested in “following the group” and “blending in,” even if it ends up harming them.

When you've always stuck out, the idea of "blending in" is laughable. I've never had the luxury of being a wallflower. I've come across so many people who have had good reason to speak up or stand out, yet they'd been terrified of breaking from conformity. From the perspective of someone who lacks the compulsive need to align themselves with an in-group, being so scared of "standing out" feels rather silly.

Does that help make more sense?

I never claimed to have a terminal illness. Why are you lying? If you want to mock my chronic illnesses, at least don’t lie about them.

And my Jewishness is such a secret that just clicking on my profile will show you that I mod c/jewish.

It’s just possible you know less about me than you think you do. Too late to ask me about anything though. You enjoy the imaginary person you e built up in your head though.

God you're pathetic, and have a short memory. Here's your comment from not too long ago when you wrote that you're gonna be dead in four years. That's terminal by any definition. At least try to keep your lies straight, you being the mod of c/Jewish doesn't in anyway imply that you're not lying.... Again. Just pitiful.

Flying Squid

Yes. I do hope to see euthanasia in four years.

You do understand that non-terminal people in daily chronic pain also seek euthanasia, yes?

It's actually the diamond industry that keeps pushing that narrative as -obviously- they want to be the sole supplier

And you do understand that unless you specifically mention that, saying that you'll be dead in four years can only be reasonably interpreted as you having a terminal illness, right? Hence, saying that I'm a liar when I made the only reasonable interpretation of information provided by yourself, is bad faith at best. Do you not see that? I'm not your parent, I'm not aware of your deeply held thoughts, and I'm frankly not interested enough to investigate it on my own. I hadn't checked your profile because I don't care what you mod, why would I you narcissistic weirdo?

So you're being purposefully vague and express yourself in a way where you obviously want to, need to feel like a victim of a slight from strangers on the internet. This isn't healthy behavior dude, take a deep breath and have a look at how you're behaving. You don't need to be a perpetual victim. Just be yourself, it can hardly be worse than whatever the fuck this garbage behavior is. You're spreading your misery, it's just bad all around for everyone involved. I won't ever be engaging with your rubbish again, it somehow manages to perpetually be sadder than last time. Get a grip.

You could have asked if you actually wanted to know. You decided to assume instead. Not my fault.

Bought my wife a big old man made diamond necklace in the early 2000s from an ad in Popular Science. She was aware but loved it. She especially liked when other women would ask her if she was afraid to wear it out, for fear of losing it. Best $70 I spent.

This should not be considered a meme

Don’t hold back. Just come out and say it that you think people who can actually hold a conversation with each other are just pathetic and you look down on them.

Not that distant from what an incel would write.

Is there any particular reason why you're trying so hard to find an insult? Surely, you understand that not every autistic person is a hate-filled incel?
