What is Neurodivergence?

It's ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc

“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”

So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned


Rules

1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them

2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence

2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals

3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.

3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith

4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!

Further rules to be added/ rules to be changed based on community input

RULES NOTE: For this community more than most we understand that the clarity and understandability of these rules is very important for allowing folks to feel comfortable, to that end please don't be afraid to be outspoken about amendments and addendums to these rules, as well as any we may have missed

It seems like the person not online as much sort of simulates a lot of unwritten social rules that only people who are able to learn those rules are able to see.

Can someone please tell me they know what I mean by this

Like, right now, I am almost certain an extremely unonline person is playing games with me on TikTok and liking a select few of my videos from the past while ignoring me over text at the same time

What else could that be

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

If she's ignoring your messages and ghosted you before, there's no hidden message or games here. She is not interested in you.

People who are interested in you respond to your messages, or even message you first.

I've seen things like this manifest into weird obsessions, full on mental breaks, and even stalking, liking posts and following and stuff on social media is not some kind of cryptic message.

I'm not saying that this will happen to you, just saying this framing and way of thinking is not the kind of mental rabbithole you want to go down, so best to just ignore it completely unless she reaches out to you first, with words that is.

Still doesn’t answer the question why she followed me on TikTok as someone who doesn’t use TikTok other than to scroll

And I originally matched with her on hinge, she ignored me for 3 months until she gave me her number then we met up in person and she ghosted. And now she’s fucking following me on TikTok and ignoring my messages? What is the other reading comrades I’m hanging onto the social order by a thread and looking into a void in the pit below

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Based on this limited information, some possible explanations:

  • Your content is good and relevant to her, but she doesn't actually like you
  • She doesn't know it's you
  • She is neurodivergent
  • She is socially anxious or inexperienced
  • She likes you but thinks you don't like her

🤷

Do you have any mutuals you could ask?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Or maybe she wants to be a friend, but from more of a distance?

IDK, I feel like people forget there's humans behind these accounts online and we collectively lost our ability to communicate how we feel. Ghosting sucks and IMO comes off as immature.

u gotta move on to another girl :( if she wanted to respond to your messages, she would (this is also me lecturing myself, I've been where I think u are buddy)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah probably but I’m just confused why she’s ignoring my messages but following me on TikTok? Is that not strange? I don’t even post shit there anymore

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

when did she start following u? When u guys started going on dates, or after she stopped responding to messages?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Just tonight lol we stopped going on dates more than a year ago. Idk man, probably just a long way to say I wish people used their words. Maybe no neurotype is exempt

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I respect the hell out of ppl who don't ghost me but just tell me straight up. I try to give the same respect to the ppl I go on dates w that I'm not into.
