Exactly 💯 I would like to suggest people quit asking this complex question, they don't want to know, so just say, " good to see you."

[beyondseconds]

This is way better than the small talk I attempt to make with my hairdresser!

[juru-chanmusic]

that's literally how I feel all the time. Like they don't really wanna know. They only want that society statement shit.

[asfaltsame]

You aced it! I'll steal that smalltalk topic

[ashleysjourney]

I hate small talk so my answer is always good with nothing extra. It usually stops the conversation.

[sensis]

When it is considered rude to answer their unwarranted (rude) question truthfully.

[vanbrewer]

Orion, thank you for saying the things I wish I could say instead of allowing NTs to have their small talk! It's so painful, but I know NTs don't actually want to know what I actually would like to talk about instead. You know, interesting things, like space, and ancient civilizations, and games, TV shows, movies, etc.

[JesseBensonJE]

i have had this exact line of thinking many times in conversation

[TheAscendedDreamer]

Me. 😂 I used to have nightmares about the moon falling out of orbit or crashing into the Earth. My mind does this and it is SO HARD not to tell everyone every weird fact I know.

[merin]

I do love you!
Your response makes perfect sense to me. I don't have a diagnosis for ASD. I do have one for ADHD. And CPTSD. But I have done the self tests and I am definitely on the spectrum but just miss the DSM 5 point criteria by a nano squeak. But when you know, you know.

If you visit NZ, come over for a drink . Bring the missus and we can enjoy confusing the s*%t out of the neighbours.
😂🖖👊

[devononair]

Haha brilliant. I wanna hear more facts about space 🙂

[colorvision]

I actually enjoy my son’s mini lessons. They are always interesting, small talk is awkward for everyone on some level.

[nnylasoR]

Ohhhh….. I 🧡 you.
This is flippin’ relatable. ✊😅

[Hun_Bunz]

Hahahaha that’s the type of answer I give!! Then I’m like “oops.. I’m just being silly! I meant that I’m good. How are u?” I absolutely loathe small talk!

[Diannab]

Rofl...Yep, but my problem is I usually tell them how bad I'm doing.... with details. However, I have gotten better about not sharing as much information lately. 😆😆

[yeahokaycoolcool]

I just barely even reply, personally lol. "eh, it's fine" is about all you'll get out of me..

I don't think 99% of people I interact with actually care so I don't waste my breath

[AutisticAthena]

Oh lord. The accidentally answering questions that they DON'T want the answer to. It's awful when I realize that I've done it again. The social shame. Ugh.

[amandar]

Haha you should have really said that !😆☀️

[roadlesstraveled]

Ugh "how's your day going?" Me: "Fine but I'm really unhappy lately and I can't figure out why, really." Them: "🦗"

[rebeccastreet]

Hahaha yes 🤣 but we are so much more interesting I just learnt about 20 things
