@keylimelanna: such a pet peeve of social interaction bro i do not entertain it anymore !! #autisticcreator #autistic #audhd #adhd #neurodivergent #autisticadult #autistictiktok #autism #autismacceptance
I have just had to become okay with the silence, and I think of it more as a comfortable silence rather than an awkward silence. ever since that scene in pulp fiction when Uma therman talks about it

or when they tell you that you haven't talk but they haven't or barely haven't asked you anything or make you part of the conversation LMAO

if I don't want to talk to someone I hit them with repeated "oh yeah" as my only response to them talking (they usually don't ask questions which is why idc). so if I get that same energy back...

1) I experienced this for too long until I made the decision not to have ppl who are not comfortable with silence. It was always me brining interesting topics to the table and just letting go of the burden of having to keep the convo going/being entertaining changed everything.

Yes I needed to hear this ❤️why would I take on all the pressure of keeping a conversation going and keeping it interesting. I would panic and be scrambling internally for the next line, ugh.

Lots of autistic women in these comments not realizing that, as an autistic man, you're expected to have a solution to this problem and get good. The only other option is dying alone 😃

If a neurotypical is hardly talking back probably because they don’t like us.If they liked someone They never shut up.

Girl I feel this so bad. I used to complain about it all the time. Now I just let the awkward silence ride. Oh you don’t wanna participate in this conversation? That’s fine I’m cool with silence.

Replace “conversion” with “friendship” and that’s my life 😑

people forcing conversation on me is triggering. if I didn't want to be in their company, I would not be. a vapid exchange serves neither of us. communication should have purpose.

Rae • of sunshine (allegedly) :
If we aren’t friends, I simply stop trying and maybe even leave. If we’re friends, I say “would you rather just chill quietly?” OR I accept a comfortable silence.

Genuinely this is why I’ve become so deeply isolated and introverted, because I just can’t handle the silence or feeling like I’m forcing to make conversation with people. I hate it..

It still happens to me a/ my partner’s parents. 12 yrs of awkward silence bc I don’t know what they want to talk about and are not inquisitive about me at all. They think I’m dumb or insecure.🤷🏽♀️

Silence is golden and I stopped over talking about 3 years ago and feel at peace now.

I’m embrace the silences now. It also shows me they aren’t my person. ✨

I feel like this so much. I pre think it before going anywhere too just in case I bump into someone and have to think of something to say. Usually my over sharing takes over and it makes me ill

I try nowadays to have little interactions with people just bc of this. If someone is a talker though and keep yapping I don’t mind then👍 if I’m in a bad situation I will do an Irish goodbye 💀

this happened way too much for me. it was just easier to get really comfortable with my silence and then wait for them to do some of the talking.

I struggle w/ a family member, she gives one word answers & doesn't act follow up questions. genuinely she has no social skills. we're trying to reconnect & it's so hard cos we need to support her atm

Here is another idea you might try. Ask them a question in order to get them talking and listen to them and respond to their thoughts .🙏
