Aehm, sorry for the late answer. You made a comment about my username. It came out like this from one of lingojam’s font translators. Other than it being a toy, this is the only way it’s relevant.
Out of browsing autism issues, and out of online for the day, actually. I like this community but when 80% of memes fit to me, i start to feel more handicapped and it’s draining. I wish i could meet certain people in person. Online “community” is just not real enough and can make feel lonely.
Edit: some context … This particular meme story here talks about hiding one’s idiosyncrasies, as part of what we call masking. I started discovering my own neurodiversity the classic way (which is also the hard way) – by having an autistic burn-out. Not only is this kind of masking very demanding (i was unconsciously always on alert for “danger” of meeting strangers), but it’s also stealing the joy from living. I could choose between dreaming along freely but lonely, or being among people but constantly watching my behaviour … so long until all energy was drained and i couldn’t do it anymore. Fortunately for me, a certain miss Greta Thunberg was in the news in those days, and she gave it all a name …
This meme makes me sad and quite anxious. It reminds me that i’m still doing that stupid thing far too much … “am i acting weird? what will the others think?” … damn!
Shit so relatable again …
Need to get out of here.

Wait, how is lingojam.com relevant? Did you make a font translator?

Take that back!! You have nothing to apologize for. 😋
Ah, thanks for letting me know. I was racking my brain trying to figure out an artistic meaning 🤦♂️
Out of where?
