Lately, I’ve been realizing I’m really fucking unfunny, and I genuinely think that quality is important when building any type of relationship with someone, friendship or otherwise. I know people always say that there are no “rules” but I genuinely believe they don’t understand how neurodivergent people view rules, but it seems that there is one rule guiding everything. Because a shit ton of anything in life comes down to verbal delivery. I can speak fine, but the tone of my voice has been the source for a shit ton of trauma.

    I was bullied in school for having a monotone voice, it's been over a decade and i'm not really over it, I hate my voice

    but my deadpan delivery comes in handy pretty regularly tbh, I'm funny as

      You're totally deadpan, I sound like I'm wildly ranting when I'm just trying to tell someone about my day — if we could combine our two voices, we would have the societal ideal 😂

      we should have a comedy show, in which you say the most insane shit in your deadpan voice and I say the most boring drivel in my screaming rant
