Normal is, indeed, boring. I wish I could be part of punk scene, instead of being bullied or ostracized. Well, I do my best to make up for this now in my 40's.

on Masking? · c/autism · 1 pts · 35d

My thoughts exactly. I would rather recommend reading an actual book by Jung or on Jung. Some of them are rather approachable (far more, than Freud, at least), except for the Red Book, afaik.

on Masking? · c/autism · 2 pts · 35d

I am confused about that. On one hand, I know that I may be masking - due to autism, cptsd or, most likely, both. But I am not sure, how I do this. Instead of putting out a fake persona (which makes me exhausted even thinking about), I rather mute my personality and become bland. I have no idea, who my real self is, though. As for your question, my intuition is against it - if you've never done it, you may be perceived as fake and it may backfire. Don't try to win with the NT in their game - it's as sensless as expacting that a random NT will be eager to chat about nuclear fusion.

Anyway, my guess is to read about people with APD - they are pretty effective in masking, if they're smart.
