    listen, as someone who needs to be social but isnt, it is ok to let there be awkward silences. it is ok.

    it isn’t your job to be entertaining. conversation is a 2 way road.

    contribute, motherfucker

      No. You’re not mandated to listen me ramble about free will, artificial intelligence or simulation theory and I’m not mandated to listen your thoughts about the weather or see pictures of your child.

      Conversation is a two way road so when you notice that it’s only flowing to one direction then take the hint and move on.

      People don’t need to talk to you if they don’t want to People are so selfish just let people be some of use are on the spectrum and don’t want to be forced into dumb conversations just because you can’t be quite for a few hours
