It's called masking. Rbf mode is real. A lifetime of neurodivergence can make you pretty good at parties.
Conclusion, Vulcans are just autistic.
People often ask me if I'm pissed off or if everything is okay if they catch me unawares.
Like no I just didn't see you there and couldn't get my face ready in time.
My wife has several immediate and extended family members on the spectrum and she still tells me things like "I don't know why you say you don't like parties, you did great and looked like you had a fantastic time"
Apparently "you were all SUPPOSED to think that" is not the correct response.
I tried to explain this AT a party once to people I didn't know at all. They thought I was pulling their leg. And I somehow doubt they even noticed when I left due to spoon depletion.
It's not a big secret that a lot of such characters Vulcans, Data, etc are just autistically coded
Yeah i always figured a lot of sci fi has autistic writers. Makes sense for them to include autistic coding
