ok i& #39;ve now had 2 people think i subtweeted them recently, despite my agonizing over every tweet i ever send lest anyone mistakenly suspect as much and feel badly, so let me state for the record: if you& #39;re reading this i consider you a friend and i would NEVER SUBTWEET YOU omg
this is literally both breaking my heart AND elevating my existing social anxiety so badly it may actually gain sentience. i very rarely even subtweet in the first place. and when i do, i would NEVER subtweet anyone in my carefully-curated and literally cherished online universe
i am many things, but the one thing i am definitively NOT is passive-aggressive. i& #39;m on the spectrum, and i routinely misunderstand (or entirely overlook) others when they try to convey something subtly
and that& #39;s not a judgment of folks who are less direct, for real. it& #39;s just not something i have the capacity for. i agonize over everything i externalize because i never want to be misunderstood or make anyone feel badly, but i also can& #39;t just.........not say the thing
a coworker literally just asked me yesterday how i manage to "speak up" about things i perceive as troublesome, and i was like... is that what i& #39;m doing? i am just saying the things that i feel idk
anyway human communication is endlessly fascinating and wonderful and heartbreaking and fundamentally consequential and i& #39;m genuinely thrilled to spend my entire life trying to figure it out
oh oops i definitely send complimentary subtweets all the damn time lol https://twitter.com/BlueSpaceCanary/status/1321526837458055168">https://twitter.com/BlueSpace...
