dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I'm now waiting tables, and I do a pretty good job of engaging people in witty banter and shit, despite the fact I'm an awkward mess in many social situations.

Why is that? Because I've been masking my neurodivergence for so long that I just treat it as a performance. I have an answer ready for most things, I can fake friendliness no problem. I put up a facade and go be charming for a few hours. It's exhausting at the end of the day, but it's the only way I know how.
