A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Being misunderstood and I am living it everyday (neurodivergent).
For me that has come to normality so i formulate everything as precicely as possible (i still get missunderstood)
Yeah it's not about the cliché potential of misunderstanding and already being under NTs for a few decades I figured most of it out.
However, there are other layers of communication that fail them or me since it's inherently based on assumptions and social networks (not the technological type).
Yeah. I know. I am highly ND as well. Now even lost my job because of this missunderstanding despite giving a litteral manual with examples: "hey this is how i need you to phrase things for me to understand. And this is what i mean when i say x"
The more adaptable we are, the more it sucks 😕
This happens to me all the time. Like, whenever I go to the doctor, the receptionist will be really nice to my wife and nasty to me and I have no idea what I did!
