    Trouble saying “socially constructive lies” instead of either uncomfortable silence or even just saying the uncouth thing out loud, avoiding talking over people and vocal volume control, hang ups relating to autistic perfectionism, obsessive behavior in general.

    Like, these aren’t really things I can avoid doing. I know because I’ve tried. I mean, I can temporarily stop but that just usually leads to becoming incredibly burnt out, alienated, or depressed.

    On a meta level, I don’t believe in free will anyway.

      That makes sense, that wasn’t the mental image I had in my picture. It’s hard for me to understand why someone would react that way then if the sequence was, for example

      A: Says something awkwardly too loud

      A: “Sorry my brain made that too loud”

      B: Disgusted look

      In that interaction, person B is a jerk IMO.
