Sometimes I know it’s a joke or sarcasm but I pretend to take it seriously because it don’t know how to react to it otherwise.
“I can’t be autistic, I understand sarcasm.” Until I realised that I’m heavily context dependent and no I don’t understand sarcasm unless I know for certain that it is sarcasm.
I’ve done this my whole life. I think it’s a form of masking. You cover both sides. If it was a joke you are like yeah I was continuing it. If it wasn’t you just say you thought they were being sarcastic and misunderstood.
“Notes”? Is this from Bluesky? Threads?
I do… after some kind people told me that’s the case.
You do realize, in order for someone to recognize something, they must have seen it once before, right?
I’ve not used Tumblr before in my life, and I don’t care to do so before I die.
lol
👍👍
i can’t find the exact post after digging through the users archive for a while, but this is definitely a tumblr post.
I’ve taken to deadpan saying, “I can’t tell if you’re joking or not.”
Doesn’t work well with strangers, but it works with people who know me and have some level of understanding of the whole thing.
