It's called masking. Rbf mode is real. A lifetime of neurodivergence can make you pretty good at parties.

Conclusion, Vulcans are just autistic.

People often ask me if I'm pissed off or if everything is okay if they catch me unawares.

Like no I just didn't see you there and couldn't get my face ready in time.

My wife has several immediate and extended family members on the spectrum and she still tells me things like "I don't know why you say you don't like parties, you did great and looked like you had a fantastic time"

Apparently "you were all SUPPOSED to think that" is not the correct response.

I tried to explain this AT a party once to people I didn't know at all. They thought I was pulling their leg. And I somehow doubt they even noticed when I left due to spoon depletion.

It's not a big secret that a lot of such characters Vulcans, Data, etc are just autistically coded

Yeah i always figured a lot of sci fi has autistic writers. Makes sense for them to include autistic coding

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
