That's not autism mate, that's just not falling for it.

~~"not falling for the mainstream-oriented rubbish" is the real hidden definition of autism that big-psycho doesn't want you to know.~~
Oh, this was a serious community. Sorry.
Big psycho?
Put it in the same folder as Big Pharma, Big Oil and the sort.
Big Blight.
One of the "Big B"s.
Big Brother, Big Baron, Big Bully, Big Bank, Big Bot. And Big Blight.
It gets blurry between the categories (/folders). It gets murky at the "top".
i would like to get in bed with big psycho tbh :3
I like to say I'm 'retarded at being wrong'.
Because there's real stuff I miss, but that channel is so good for bullshit and control.
100%. Even as a kid, I understood that some people were more "in charge" than others. I just thought it was bullshit.
I remember the moment that solidified it all for me. I was in fifth grade (about 10-11 years old) and very unpopular. There was one kid in my class that was similarly unpopular. For some reason or another, I insulted the other kid, and remember the other kids liking me more for a little while.
Buuuut it was quickly undone later that same day when he insulted me back, and all the more popular kids rallied with him against me. It was really that shallow? Yeah, just putting other kids down is all it takes.
I felt awful for having said what I said. I felt uneasy and further disgusted at how others reacted. I thought, "So to make friends, I'd have to continuously bully someone else?" Nah, fam, that's not my energy. I'd rather be alone than win the affection of people who'd celebrate that.
So I accepted my social status and fell further into untreated childhood depression. Yay.
I'd bet you I'd be your friend before I'd be theirs tho
I'm not even autistic and I think hierarchies are bullshit. I'm not even sure what this post is trying to say, beyond being vaguely about autism due to a mention. Change where they mention autism to literally anything else.
Who out here is saying that autism precludes someone from understanding how company structure functions?
Pop psychology influencers on Instagram.
I can understand how a hierarchy works and still not catch in real-time when a NT is trying to assert one on me. Not that I'd respect it even if I could fucking tell
The keyword here would be empathy if you ask me.
True. I understand just fine, simply don't give a shit about some "normal" things
Society, or the Jordan Peterson fan club?
We don't inherently pick up on totally artificial nonsense that's ten units of horror for one unit of utility. We understand it once we learn to see it.
And usually think everyone would be better off if they didn't exist
This is widely accepted in Sweden and called Jantelagen (Law of Jante)
now used colloquially to denote a social attitude of disapproval towards expressions of individuality and personal success.
That sounds horrible, expressions of individuality should be celebrated and promoted.
In Australia we have 'tall poppy syndrome', where those who 'succeed' too much are bought back down. You can be your beautiful lovely weirdo self, just don't try to be above everyone else.
Success can be celebrated and promoted but the main point with the law of Jante is that everyone is equal. You are not a better person than anyone else just because you had success. We are all equals and should treat each other with respect.
Or that you should have to kiss ass and play office social games in the good ol’ boy club to get ahead.
Me at 4, in church: "I don't understand what all the fuss is about, for a fictional character called Jesus in a story book called the Bible."
Me at 5, in school: "But I know things the teacher does not."
... And other similar stories for every "authority", every year since.
So your hierarchy is for you is 2, people who are suckers and people who don't believe in heirarchy. Maybe I have autism?
