    The greats are often famously slovenly, antisocial etc.

    And here you are, pushing mere shame.

    Your shame seems small, comparatively .

      This is some serious r/iamverysmart over simplicity. Nothing I said was shame mate.

      I like living without stinking to high hell, having teeth that aren’t rotting and infected, and not being covered in rashes and fungal growth because I am maintaining personal hygiene.

      I love having friends. They bring me so much joy, happiness, shared interests, and introducing me to activities I enjoy.

      Listening and not being constantly stuck in my mind allows me to build my knowledge and wisdom instead of some neckbeard elitist iamverysmart intern hellion.

      I don’t mask anymore, but I’m also not going to be some shitstain that believes they’re the next “great” just because I am not nerutypical and have a false belief that the greats are-just-like-me because I’m neurodivergent.

        Ah, “shitstain”. No shame here.

        It sounds to me like you care very much about fitting in etc. Well more power to you.

        But some of us don’t.

        So you do you. And don’t pretend that you know how to do us.

        Practice a little humility.
