I’ve read about how it’s typically difficult for adults with autism to remain employed, and I can completely see why. Never been officially diagnosed, but I’m pretty sure it’s a foregone conclusion in the way that I constantly over analyze every action taken by my co-workers and supervisors

So yeah there’s definitely some ND thought here, but I also can’t seem to get past how fake everything feels. And it feels like I have to play along with their little game where they all assume different personalities between the hours of 9-5 instead of being themselves. Because contrary to popular belief, individuals aren’t beneficial to capitalism, drones are

I hate my brain

    Also doesn't help how fucking awful these people are. I started one of these jobs a month ago and the disgusting shit they've said to and around me about homeless people, trans people, women, black people is unreal. I still present as a cishet white guy and they have always assumed automatically that I'm one of them. One of my coworkers is related to one of my best friends, and in the conversation where I told him that he complained about her being too woke for going to BLM events and for wearing a mask 2 years ago. I just smile and nod along, it's just easier that these ghouls don't know I was at those same events lol

    Nice to see so many people in this thread feeling the same way though, feels like I could've written any of these comments. If I am going crazy in this neoliberal hellscape at least Ive got little friends inside my phone doing the same :yea:

      One of the many reasons I left my last job. I'm sick and tired of bigots assuming I'm One Of Them™ because I'm white and straight passing and just going off about whatever random culture war bullshit is being ginned up recently. Not to mention it was entirely male dominated so sexism was rampant as well as the racism and assorted other bigotry.

        Yeah it's certainly better than being the target of their bigotry and hate, but it's still not enjoyable. Especially when it's at work and it's your boss
