I get this for sure. One of my friends is EXHAUSTING. I think there’s a big difference in socialization and awareness and how we allow our symptoms to manifest. Like, I could ramble for an hour about a topic, but I’m not going to bc I know it’s tiring for the person I’m talking to, but my friend seems to have 0 awareness and will talk until everyone around is annoyed af

I know that we all have our struggles and shouldn’t be expected to constantly mask for NTs, but I feel like we all (NDs and NTs) have the responsibility to be considerate of other people’s time and emotional bandwidth, and some people kinda refuse to put the work into doing that

yep, being ND isn’t an excuse to not try for at least a little social consideration. neither is being NT, it might come more naturally but it’s worth doing so it’s worth putting effort into
