Did you know that when someone asks if you’re hungry, they don’t actually really want to know if you are hungry, they’re asking you to accompany them while they eat.
!!?!
I just learned about the hungry thing a few months ago, and it made me realize how many of these small interactions I’ve been getting wrong for the entirety of my four-decade existence.
It didn’t even occur to me then that this “favorite thing” conversation was also something I was misinterpreting.
Does anybody know if there’s a list somewhere?? Do I need to just watch all of this particular channel?
My only irl neurodivergent friend said she learns a lot about interaction from reading fiction, but I’ve been an avid reader my whole life and there’s still so much I don’t understand that’s seemingly obvious to everyone else. It’s becoming a little distressing, tbqh.

My easy fix for that is that i’m always hungry, or at least i could always go eat.
Also, when you bump into people in public and they say “we should hang out sometime!” Or “let’s get coffee sometime!” It’s usually just a niceity and they don’t actually want to meet up with you. That bummed me out and gave me relief equally lol
Ikr???

Ohhhhhh… I’ve actually been carrying guilt this whole time about not making all those plans happen.
Thank you. ❤️ I needed this one.
Glad I could help
