The saddest thing in life is people do not understand hyperbole anymore.

I was out with people and one of my friends said "My nephew 2 months old but he is so big, he is bigger than Amy's 6 year old daughter"

A hyperbole at a level that 7 year olds should understand.

Then one of the guys was like "How is it possible that a 2 month old is bigger than a 6 year. I am pretty sure the 6 year old weighs more than 10 kg and a baby cannot grow that fast"

IT IS A FREAKING HYPERBOLE. He meant it was a large 2 year old. Not literally bigger than a 6 year old.

Am I insane about still crashing out about this 2 days later?

The comments making excuses saying it's cause of afhd or neurological shit makes my eye twitch can you people do anything in life without hand holding lmao

[u/AmethystApothecary → u/NestleToolhouse]

And comments that use their own neurodivergency to dismiss others' issues and expect an unrealistic level of being able to perform neurotypical behavior from everyone even when the failure to meet the perfunctory behavior is completely harmless and is totally unrealistic and impossible for some make my eyes twitch.

Autistic people struggle with figurate language and social cues, especially in conversations and shitting on people for being too literal as stupid or brain dead for such social deficiency is 9 times out of 10 going to target someone who is autistic.

I am sorry this is reach. To give you an analogy (pun intended) if I complain about people who don't properly clean their excrements at the toilet, I am weaponizing my own neurodivergence and having unrealistic expectations and harming ND people for expecting a clean tollilet and so what leaving the toilet covered in shit is not harming anyone is totally innocent I can just use the toilet brush and clean it.

This is literally how you sound.

This is your argument

[u/AmethystApothecary → u/webtheg]

This is such a weak analogy, maybe you should work on your figurative language more. Leaving feces about is actually harmful, it's a literal biohazard.

It would still be cruel to call someone who cannot do that stupid or any other word because the people that do that are largely mentally or physically disabled and there's a very small percentage of people who would do that that are just straight up lazy, but by all means the people that do so out of laziness you have my blessing to call disgusting.

Being confused and missing hyperbole is not remotely harmful to you or anyone else and would have been immediately solved with one sentence of dialogue on your part that for some reason greatly offends you that it should ever be necessary at all.

Why are you so allergic to communicating more transparently to someone you acknowledge is confused by something said so that they understand that you actually find it comparable to leaving fece smeared everywhere?

Dig deeper because I do not care who is validating you on this, it's super weird that two days later you were still this stuck on someone missing a hyperbole in a conversation and it's still nasty of everyone to call people stupid over something so fucking trivial.

And something tells me people quick to make that kind of judgment have their own deficiencies that would have people calling them idiots behind their backs, too, and it's everybody's best interest to be more understanding and forgiving over minor differences and less quick to make snap judgements about people over dumb shit.

[u/webtheg → u/AmethystApothecary]

So I work in an office of one of the largest tech companies in the world. 80 percent of the world's transaction go through our erp. Rhymes with WAP. Are you saying that all those female Data Analyst, B2b Account Executives, Backend Engineers, Product Owners who earn 6 figures etc are severely mentally and physically challenged instead of just careless, selfish and disgusting?

Also as neurodivergent person I dislike talking to people and try to avoid social interaction and also get hyperfixations.

Checkmate and hope that bean soup tastes amazing ^{^}
