Petah what’s the difference in the skirts and why am I a creep

I'm so confused how it translates into the real world. Am I not supposed to notice someone hiked a piece of clothing up or changed into a different article of clothing?

Is this why women often get like 5 inches cut off their hair and nobody comments on it? NTs just actually don't notice or what!?

You're supposed to do two things:

1) notice the difference

2) act like you didn't

Confusing social signals frying neurodivergent people, name a more iconic duo

Don't worry, it's frying everyone else too.

And this right here is the thing. So very much of our human society is based on dishonesty, and rather than actually doing something constructive about that over time, we’ve made a conscious effort to move towards it. “Oh you can’t say that”, and next thing you know people have been repeating BS enough that they believe it, and the people around them believe it, and everyone is pretending that things are a certain way purely for the sake of comfort and not because it’s actually true.

I heard someone say something recently that really gave me pause: the generation that comes up with BS KNOWS it’s BS. They say it because they’re supposed to say it, do it because they’re supposed to do it, but everyone is still aware, deep down, that they’re being dishonest in exchange for comfort. The kids who learn it next, however, don’t have that context. They genuinely believe the BS that comes out of the mouths of marketers, politicians, the media, whoever else, because they don’t have the context. They don’t know the game. The shortest game of telephone possible and immediately the truth is lost. That is, as they say, a very big problem.

caveat: 3) if you're attractive, you can notice the difference and act like it.
