    i do, as i’ve seen so many people in progressive-leaning spaces online legit say that “if you have difficulties socializing, maybe you’re just a horrible person”

      Yeah, and ironically it seems to be a specifically online thing. The comrades in my org know I’m autistic, know I struggle socially, and they’ve been wonderfully accommodating.

      “if you have difficulties socializing, maybe you’re just a horrible person”

      I’ve seen that quite a bit, especially when it comes to the realm of dating.

      But enjoying solitary things is counterrevolutionairy is not something I’ve really seen on here and I think sometbing might be lost in translation. But hey, you’re probably right!

          Yeah, I don’t date because I struggle with horrible social anxiety and a truly brutal level of self-loathing. Trying to convince me that actually maybe everyone really does hate me and for good reason, too, isn’t particularly kind OR accurate.
