Does it genuinely feel insincere?
I always enjoy it both ways as it shows one empathizes and you& #39;re not alone in whatever& #39;s occurring. https://twitter.com/fxckingVALID/status/1291031641369051136">https://twitter.com/fxckingVA...

And as @taekeyedin rightly points out. This is common amongst neurodivergent folks.
So maybe it should be treated as harmless unless it& #39;s actually invalidating or hurtful to someone within such a conversation.

Not that it& #39;s something that should be "normalized" in either direction. Its gonna be completely dependent on the situation, the individuals and the vibe of the conversation.
And if you do misread the room, trust the individual to be understanding.

I can name plenty of situations where I& #39;ve done it and regretted it.
I can name situations where it& #39;s the other way round and I& #39;ve felt invalidated.

And would much rather hear an anecdote that& #39;s similar to my experience than some bullshit advice or judgement....as then power dynamics come into play (unless I& #39;m asking for advice/judgement)
And I dont wanna be the "the Twitter hot take is ableisttt" guy as I think the truth lying in the middle here transcends neurotypes (just naturally more intense for people who do struggle with traditional means of interaction)
Just to clarify I& #39;m not denying it& #39;s an autistic trait. Because it is. But it& #39;s also not exclusively that. Which I appreciate is hard/risky to convey on twitter.
I remember the boiled piss when someone pointed out all humans mask/present differently to different people.

My point being it& #39;s a shitty tweet (and the irony that its selfish of you that the conversation isnt exclusively about the other person hit me this morning)
But lets not interpret it as some sort of malicious attack on a specific group of people.
