Language is something that I've always been insecure about, especially as an autistic person, because I know I can come off as either too childish and stupid or too rude and pretentious. My tone fails to match with how I feel sometimes and it is very embarrassing. I'd like to better conduct myself in this way but, uhm, unfortunately I am stricken by.. terrible anxiety to do anything about it.. I try to expand my vocabulary and such too, but am ever discouraged by the sheer amount of people whooooo kind of lowkey need to go back to the second grade maybe.. The type of people who would shiver in fear at a word as small as "stupendous".

It is okay tho becauuseee... I have this awesome guy named Callie, who is my friend, and he likes that sort of stuff and it's like,. well. If I get good at it then Callie could notice and then he could appreciate what many others cannot. Anyways. I try to be better at Language based things..

i meow to my friends and family and they understand what i mean, so i don't really think it's too important for me, though i do like to learn new things and languages, i'm ultimately going to mimic the speech style of the nearest person so, nothing i can really do in that department.

japanese though, when i started learning it i only knew about textbook phrases and whatnot, but then i started diving deeper and started noticing how anime characters aren't really speaking a whole different beast from textbook formality, so i saw myself learning the quirks unconsciously, and it's kinda annoying how fun it is to see different dialects or more-than-formal japanese be used, i'm not at all fluent but i think JP is one of the most expressive languages i know (even though you obviously don't get to use much of those styles when actually learning the language.)

i would say so, yes. i always make an effort to try and expand my vocabulary, not just to sound smart, but to understand how to communicate better, as i've always struggled with that in all sense of the word. though i understand that nowadays most phrases and words are being simplified, and my efforts are/were, in fact, in vain... ㅠ_ㅠ i feel like i understand much more of the english language than my real life peers, but that isn't saying much considering the ranking my state is in when it comes to education. instead of using it to express myself, i think i mostly just used it (opening up my vocabulary and learning more about the words im using) in more of an educational way, as when im with friends or people im comfortable with, i talk MUCH much more informally about my feelings and thoughts. cries..,,,helppp i'm so tiredddd.,,,,....
