Yeah, developing a personality beyond 'i am neurodivergent' would be a good start.
"I am neurodivergent" is like those question marks or boxes instead of unicode symbols. The actual string would be that "developed personality" which you don't understand, and another person is informing you the asshole that you don't understand it in the last way available - telling you that they are neurodivergent.
I've noticed that all people sometimes whine and all people are sometimes narcissistic.
See, those you called "whiny narcissists" may be compassionate to you when your turn to feel miserable comes. While people like you likely won't.
So it's the difference between having proper upbringing and empathy and lacking them.
