Sending memes back and forth is a love language.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

There's a graffiti near my house which roughly translates to: "And who sends memes to you? ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘ˆ" and I love it.

I do all of these things. Is that a sign?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

You do? I love you too!

It seems that many neurodivergent memes are just neurotypical variety

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The reason that neurodivergent became a term is that it also includes people who are slightly different from normal, but not necessarily diagnosed, or diagnosable.

Using these as your primary love indicators is odd, not bad, just non-normal. It's common amongst NDs, but far less so amongst NTs.

I get that, and still, there's a multitude of "normal" ways in love language theory where these fit as well

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Nah.

Combining it with all of the other signs is a sign.

The real divergence consists of abstaining from all of these.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

If you diverge from neurodivergence, have you re-verged or are you diverging further?

Wait, I think I just answered my own question
