hello all,

i slept in, this is so late. good lord its nearly 9 PM

how easily do you, in your opinion, understand the intent behind other's words? (this sounds so stupid, but) how do you feel about that? like, would you like to be better at understanding purpose, first try, and to need less faith while communicating?

more directly: this is about your thoughts on your own deciphering of intent from others. is it fun, to not understand first try? or more a bother...

Gosh. I wish I could answer this so bad but I genuinely cannot remember the last time I had to think about what others had to say 😭 The people around me are very direct because they just know to be direct with me lool... Uhmm,,. I guess I am prone to driving myself up walls sometimes tho...? I just think a lot.,.,.

UHmfgjkdnfndm it has been a few hours since I wrote the above & eyee think that overeallll I am average at telling people's intents & I am just very prone to overthinking

i do, better than what regular people expect from an autist. i choose to ignore what they refuse to outright unless it's passive-aggressive, out of spite. i won't entertain dancing around real subjects. if you can't care enough about your message to say it outright, why should i do you the honour of doing it for you?

hate me n can't tell me? stay mad.

It's... Very mixed. I am usually not that good at deciphering double meanings or intent at times, or sometimes I outright refuse to see it because if they truly wanted me to know, they'd be direct. Regardless, I do find myself being correct about 40-60% of the time if I do attempt to decipher, usually by a mix of feelings and the facts that I know of that person. I love puzzles sometimes, and I like doing guesswork, but when it comes to communicating, I'd rather people be direct. The entire deciphering process is a bother in general since I don't think I should need to do that. Maybe I'm just autistic.

i think that i usually get what people mean when they say something. negative/positive connotations and context and whatnot, i mostly put things together subconsciously and know if someone is being malicious or not. i'm not sure how to explain it super well. its very embarrassing for me if i don't understand and need them to explain, or think about what they said over and over to try and get it, and i really hate that... either that or it's just frustrating for me

im very tired myself so i hope i got what you were trying to say ᵒ̶̷̓̄́ Ā·Ģ« ᵒ̶̷̣̓̄̀

im pretty awful at it. i need a direct confirmation of what someone's intentions are or else i'll just be assuming bad intent behind it cause im Paranoid. i do wish i could decipher better but even if i did, it might be more of a problem with my trust issues then

i was waiting for you to send one of these today LOL i thought i already answered it
i would like to be better at understanding it, i do struggle sometimes. i think its fun and bothersome to not understand first try honestly

uh oh this is very confusing. i hbave never asked a question this fucking confusing. dear god i just want to ask about communication
