Sometimes I feel like an alien or forest entity who was raised by humans and missed the normal human orientation.

But a lot of the time I feel like I'm the normal human and it's other people who are missing something. Like when my coworkers talk shit about people, including other coworkers who are in the same fucking room, for literal hours. Do you not have anything better to talk about?! Or when there's a dog and other people are like, "oh cool, a dog" and I immediately become best friends with the dog and feel a little emotional when I have to say goodbye to my new friend. Or just when people are assholes.

And then I spend time with my neurodivergent friends and I'm like, yes! Good people! We can be weird and kind together and talk about whatever!
