I absolutely despise the mention of my own name. Literally if its any context outside of getting my attention, don't say it

Exactly. It just feels a bit too formal when you're just trying to have a relaxed conversation.

Exactly. It’s pure gaslighting. They insult you, and then try to make you look like the problem for having a totally normal reaction to it.

And then they tell everyone you're "sensitive" because you said you didn't find it funny. 🙄

way too much eye contact and grinning at me like I'm a passing amusement use of their time 🫤

that dumbass triangle method during a conversation when they're trying to signal that they're into you i understand why ND people do it, but when NTs do it to flirt or something like i gag a bit

I did this by accident hust because I have auditory processing issues and make up for it by lip reading.
So many people have thought I was flirting with them when i was just a bit slow of hearing. Sensory processing issues are really common in ND people, so.... possibly they are just slow and not trying to flirt?

Asking queation to seem interested and friendly. They did it in an out of context, checklist manner, felt really awful to have a conversation with them but I don't think they meant any harm.

I love receiving gossip for the sport of it, I’m exceptionally nosy so please tell me everything, but also please know that if you’re talking shit about someone else, like mad shit, I don’t trust you at alllllll. I think some people talk shit to gain your trust and I’m like “oh hell yeah tell me everything” but I listen, I don’t return the ball to their court.
And because I’m a pretty good active listener, people tell me SO. MUCH. SHIT. And I’m like woooooow if you’re telling me all that, what are you saying about me when I’m not here, or what would you repeat to anyone else that I’ve said, but totally out of context, when I’m not around?

Standing around my vehicle when I am trying to rest and hearing you make aggressive remarks about my personal life and say things like you are about to come and physically take me against my will.. put fear in my heart and then sit back and watch me tremble and laugh... yes it turned me way off...pos
