How normal is it to think “Time to put on my human face.”, or ask yourself “How would a human react?“ before interacting or responding to people?

    Replace “human” with New York Liberal and that’s how I am on a daily basis.

    That’s very common among people on the autism/ADHD spectra I believe.
    It’s very similar to how I’ve heard my autistic friends describe how they interact with the world at least.

    Not normal for me. I react how i react.

    The thought usually comes after when i’m alone when i’m thinking.

    “Damn, that was a weird ass thing i said today”

    Oh everyday, I think it’s pretty normal especially in a world where being yourself is frowned upon and opinions aren’t validated.

    Not entirely normal. You’re going to have to fake being a human a little bit longer.

    Seriously though, that’s a question for your doctor because this kind of thinking is a little neurodivergent and often associated with being on one spectrum or another.

    Its normal to feel like you have to mask but I think its wrong to ask yourself things like “how would a human react?” – you are human and other humans are going through the same thing. So maybe ask yourself: “how would another neurodivergent socially competent person deal with this?” You will realize that you dont need to look far to recognize peers who deal with similar things.

    I do this. It’s useful to fake certain emotions in some cases.
