Learning social skills you didn't acquire during childhood feels just like this

[TheLexikitty]

This is the clearest way anyone has ever described conversations

[tahaymvids]

As an autistic person each of those 200ms are the worst thing on the planet all those decisions are torture.

[transbiologistthetransesto]

This is by far the most realistic depiction of autistic interpretation of a basic conversation

[GobbleTheRook]

My autistic ass trying to hype myself up into talking to strangers by gamifying conversation 💀

how social anxiety mfs over-analyse conversations:

[ferenc_l]

A cool skip only conversation speedrunners know is that you can stare intently and hiss at someone while slowly creeping up to induce a TRP (opponent's AI glitches out and they stop talking)

I'm autistic. If I'm expected to handle this in less time than a typical ping in a video game, it's no wonder I never get to talk.

[kiezkole]

This would be a great way to describe how tiring social interaction can be when your manually keeping up with all of this

[Pyranders]

I got to this so early the thumbnail hadn't even loaded yet, it was just a grey placeholder. This is significant to me and I wish it to be recorded.

[leithmascari]

Don’t forget the”that’s crazy” meta, easiest way to instantly send the TRP directly to its ending state

[lunamiuna]

As an AuDHD person, this is actually a good way to describe how I perceive conversations, and why they are so difficult for me

[lancebswift]

Ooooh... Yeah, no one gave me the handbook for this game, I keep breaking the rules

[abrownwalrusify]

I love this because it scratches an itch I didn't know my autistic brain had.

[voilet-the-non-violet-vulpix]

There are also instances where the non-speaker tries to self-initiate a TRO & become the speaker while the original speaker isn’t done, which depending on the builds being played, can result in harmonious cross-talk, or a decrease in respect for at least one of the two parties.

[SteinGauslaaStrindhaug]

Conversations with majority ADHD is on the other hand almost completely interrupt based rather than turn based

[umonaghilles]

Accidentally skipped the tutorial— now I can’t master the art of this turn base mechanic :c

[alik]

ngl i think about conversations like this sometimes, especially online. "ah yes, we've moved into the Answer a Question Then Ask a Question stage. pretty standard play here. now let's make sure we choose an option with a good balance of relevancy and interest."

[johndreemurr]

I love it when people use video game terms to describe real life stuff. It's one of my favorite wacky speech manners

[Destrell]

As a customer service representative, this hits really close to home cause sometimes a different person will take over the conversation without even warning you so you always need to be on your toes and change your language accordingly.
