That whole "communication is a two-way street" pisses me off, because it always means I have to cater to them, never the other way.
When I get interrupted or am having a stressful conversation, my reaction is to raise my voice. Some people cry, I raise my voice. It is completely involuntary. I developed it because people keep interrupting me, and so I have learned to stand my ground.

And NT fucking love to say that I'm bad at communication, but seems to me they're the ones who suck at it.
I have ADHD and I've learnt I can be grating in ways I do not perceive myself. I've learnt to be upfront. If I am working on a project with a colleague and it seems like we're not getting along I'll ask "hey it seems like we're not getting along, but since we're going to have to work together we can't just ignore each other. Would you mind telling me what I'm doing that's frustrating you?"
It never goes anywhere though. They always say "nothings wrong! I think we're getting along great!" Then two months later at some informal event they'll finally have worked up the liquid courage to tell me what it is.
It's always something I'm doing wrong and never a question of maybe being misunderstood! It'll be something like raising the voice. But instead of asking why I do it, it's always "this is wrong of you to do" but if it's a two-way street why tf do they never stop and wonder WHY I am raising my voice? Could it be that they're also doing something?
I'll get told that I'm bad at communicating, but I'm not the one who can't figure out to voice my frustrations with the other person, nor am I the one who can't perceive an issue or ask about it so that it can be solved.

People like to say autisticics are bad at communication, but my autistic friends are some of the easiest to get along with. They'll be at a party and straight up tell me "hey there's too much going on and I'm getting kind of tired. Do you have a place I can retreat to for a while, otherwise I'll have to go home?"

My NT friends will join a group playing a drinking game and actively sabotage the game so its not as fun, so they can convince people to stop playing the game and do something else instead. My NT friends will say shit like "is it just me, or do you feel a breeze too?" Which apparently means "close the window", so when I answer "no I don't feel a breeze, but then again I am wearing a long-sleeved shirt" IM THE RUDE ONE.

You know what my autistic friends do when they want me to close a window? They say "hey I'm cold, would you mind closing the window?"
But yeah it's definitely the neurodivergent that are bad at communicating.

Never look inwards NT people it's never you. And you are oh so accommodating! All the times ND people annoy you and you say nothing? So grand of you. Could it be that you also annoy ND people and we say nothing? Surely not, and if it is the case, then that's just those weird ND people who need to learn to chill out and fit in.

Of course you are?

You're writing this in response to a moderately rude answer from a mod. Get a grip, this isn't a revolution, it's a rule change on a webforum

I just wanna say that I like rule 8 and I'm happy it's been made. I like dunks and I like the dunk tank, but that means that half the time I'm looking at people sharing some nobody that said something stupid, or a post from 5 years ago. There's billions of people, if you wanna see someone say stupid shit, its not hard to find.
I like the posts that are more like "can you believe this got published?" Or "can you believe this widely loved public person is this deranged?"

They're just larping. The game is about spreading "democracy". This is a joke and more or less the only time it actually makes sense to make

Add it to the roster of bangers which I've written and and been snubbed for by the FADCIST THOUGHT POLICE mods and admins

Thank you, I am aware, thats why I wrote "Danes" but I can see how that can be confusing.

Yeah, this white supremacist map doesn't make any sense!

No, make it the new Israel. Would ensure world peace as both France and Germany insists on Israels right to exist

Is he giving the Danes control of Alsace-Lorraine and part of the balkans? Impeccable, no notes. Giving the Gauls all of Iberia? Sure that makes sense
