Oh my god I relate too much 😭 it’s like other ppls sarcasm is always understood but when I’m sarcastic ppl are just confused, like “wait… are you serious?” No bitch, I wasn’t going to actually eat the fucking napkin on my plate that no longer has any food on it. ofc I’m done eating 🙄 And I put like 200% effort into understanding NT’s figures of speech (and I can usually figure it out), but it’s like they don’t even give 50% of their effort in understanding me

Might be micro aggressively telling you to calm down because they think you’re being serious/feel like you’re doing things wrong
