i had a lot of sensory issues i was unaware of which affected my ability to concentrate and would cause me to dissociate as a coping mechanism for the sensory onslaught. i'm what's known as pda type too which means i'm highly demand avoidant. i'm literal as fuck and just can't understand subtext or inferred meaning which would lead to a lot of misunderstandings and communication breakdowns. and because i don't use subtext or inferred meaning people would take things i say the completely wrong way by misinterpreting my words. i'm also very, very blunt which pisses people off. i can be tactful but mostly i'm just going to straight up say what needs to be said which most people find upsetting for some fucking reason. i hate small talk too which makes for awkwardness and i can't really engage in conversations with people i don't know on a personal level. i can't fake sincerity or interest in people's bullshit and employers really don't like that. the list goes on
