    One of the very few advantages of being neurodivergent is it is unbelievably easy to make sure someone will never want to talk to you again. Just stop making efforts to act “normal”.

        I just talk to them like I talk with my cats, albeit with a few fewer queries about if they’ve been cleaning their ass.

        I mask fine sober but throw in a little weed and you’re getting a six hour lesson on black hole holography.

          Does it involve trains in any way, shape or form?

            Anyone who wants this kind of combo should read Peter Hamilton’s Commonwealth Saga (Pandora’s Star and Judas Unchained). Literally a society built around a train network connected with wormholes between planets.

          I’m arguably more masked when drunk because drunk me knows that I say enough stupid shit even when Im sober so drunk me just decides not to talk.

          Same. Though I’m mute under my mask so it’s a mixed bag.

      You say that, but I remember getting into it with people in college and going back and forth straight into the AM because we couldn’t stop fueling one another.

      Couldn’t get enough of that level of socialization. It’s one of the things I miss most about the university experience. Made a lot of really good long term friendships during that time, too.

      Horrible for hooking up, though.

        Check if you have a local makerspace or hackspace. They tend to attract a similar crowd. My local one is definitely majority neurospicy.

          Oh definitely. My local DSA group has quite a few of them as well.

          But it’s a different game when you’re not on campus, surrounded by people your age, spending hours a day in class surrounded by collaborative peers. If I could quit my job and spend all my time on hobbies (and everyone else could, too) I’m sure my dance card would be fuller.

      I will now proceed to spend the next three hours reciting a sample of the vast amount of useless information I have absorbed from Wikipedia.
