And it has all kinds of implications and context and shit.

How the fuck am I supposed to tell what's just people doing things at random and what's a part of all-singing-all-dancing-shit-show the neurotypicals call "social norms"? Down with NTs.

Honestly while it's really fucking annoying that refusal to participate could result in some silly neuronormo interpreting a completely innocuous action as an offense, and it can cut you off from social shit, I think it's basically the only way. The same button never does the same thing twice. Screeching rn.

    Is it a smile? I swear I haven't figured out what the fuck a smile really is. I can manage a grimace that's the best you get

      I can smile when laughing or w/e but cannot make it happen naturally. If somethin makes me happy or whatever it works great, otherwise no lmao.

        That's interesting cause I smile like a motherfucker, and it's stereotypical for Polish people to not smile. Funny how it goes.
