i feel like this is my default state.
I still don't know how i feel about it. Am i a dumbass who can't communicate? Are others just fucking stupid? Who knows!
Neither. They expect us to figure out and speak in the flowery language and codes that they use, and get upset when we can't, when I feel like it would be easier for them to just -listen- to what we're saying, because it's usually in black and white.
Even as a neurotypical person, I ain't got time for that shit. Don't be using code phrases or softened language around me. If you have something you want to communicate, it's on you to meet sure your understood. It's not on me to infer your meaning.

Haha! Yes! You found my Easter egg! Good job!
~God fucking damn it~
nuance kinda important tbh

i find i often just make sure people understand the thing that im talking about, so that it's hard to misunderstand what im about to talk about. The side effect is that they learn about something that they may not have intended to, but are going to.
Both, I think. The fact that you're here on lemmy tells me that you probably care about how shit works, which makes you an outlier, and it's likely others who are stupid relative to you. On the other hand, you're probably a dumbass who talks with people like peers and doesn't know how to communicate with stupid people, or how to manage your expectations as stupid people will always misunderstand things no matter how good your communication skills are.
