Just curious: would you consider yourself autistic?
- vasco 5mo agoNo, just like to work with eastern Europeans and got used to their communication. Now this stuff just jumps out at me.
- luckylion 5mo agoIs that a tell? Sounds very much like my reaction to that behavior, but I always assumed it's because I'm german.
- sunrunner 5mo agoPerhaps a quick visit to https://german.millermanschool.com https://german.millermanschool.com could sort this out
- vasco 5mo agoFunny! I'm autistic enough that I went to do it and got 51% German and 27% autistic. In reality am portuguese and never diagnosed (outside of internet comment sections).
- justsid 5mo agoNot everyone not conforming to your preferred style of communication is autistic. What is up with the internet trying to diagnose people?! The parent is right. The reason society as a whole is way too comfortable with overstepping social boundaries, is because people think it’s somehow rude to confront others. It makes no sense. Sometimes you gotta say it how it is, because quite frankly the real rude person is the one copy and pasting a ton of AI output into your communication so you have to parse that and then try and figure out the original intent between the lines. How is that acceptable but saying “don’t do that to me?” is not?
- sph 5mo agoNo, perhaps continental European. When I moved to Britain I had some adjusting period at work because English-speaking countries are terrified of disagreement and confrontation, and I am not used to dancing around the point, especially in stressful settings where efficiency is key. Mind you, I was always polite and respectful to anybody. I got better at it, but I can’t say I ever got to like the pervasive hypocrisy. To my understanding the American/West Coast is even more fake on this aspect.
