Does that example really require masking? Absolute not. You don't have to lie when you provide a neutral response. Examples: "Busy day", "Just feeling tired", "Many things to get done.". Those are not necessarily good or bad and suggest you aren't making small talk.
Or, if you provide a never ending story they will see your disability for what it is and they won't ask you a second time.

- austin-cheney 1y agoNot if it is accurate to your actual day/emotions. Masking is a form of deception.
- freehorse 1y agoNot if you practice a few and cycle them all the time. How does that require any kind of effort once you practiced a bit?
- pavel_lishin 1y ago"This is an example of masking." "Not it's not, because if you practice masking, the masking becomes easy."
- freehorse 1y agoMasking is (supposed to denote) maladaptive strategy. Learning social and other skills is not the same thing. Hopelessness is being learnt, too.
