  • Associates faces with names easily.

    Like I'll remember who you are, but I won't remember your name. Got me into trouble a few times

    Edit: also forgot, but this includes associating the names of places. Combined with the fact that I can'trememberr paths and situate places I see IRL on a map, I get lost often.

    I dont know a lot of things that you're talking about, but I promise I'll read the texts that you mentioned to try to understand 👍

    I'm so happy I avoided gamergate because I was too much into splatoon lmao. The community there was really friendly.

    I was thinking of diving head first into das kapital. I'm not sure if 3 courses of philosophy are enough. I was going to ask my philosophy teacher about it, but I'm a bit scared to ask haha.

    I would be glad to get some recommendations though.

    I never got called a tankie, so idk about that.

    Then again, I rarely participate in political discussions that I don't know about. I try to read as much as possible to get an idea, but I never go in dept, like read sources.

    I'm going to go to uni soon. I'll try to spend more time into learning history properly.

    Idk. I'm really bad at history and such cause I never pay attention. I used to take everything I saw on the internet at face value, so I decided to slow down on current news. Doesn't help that I like programming and video games a lot, so I don't spend a lot of time thinking about world events.

    I just like communities that are tolerant and won't let people bully the lgbt or the disabled. It feels less tiring.



  • Depends, in my experience.

    In High School, I forgot someone's name, and being autistic and all, I just said outright "You, I forgot your name". We knew each other and all, but I have an issue associating people's face to a name. Of course, they were upset, but since they used sarcasm I had a hard time figuring it out (autism) until one of my friends asked me why I said that, and told me it was impolite.

    Now I basically explain that I have trouble remembering names, and usually my new friends understand. I guess you just need to say that you usually have trouble with it and you should be fine.
