>guy at work asks what video games I've been playing lately
>I give him what I think is a restrained, reasonably low amount of information about the video games I've played lately
>he stares at me in silence because he has no idea what I'm talking about
>he doesn't even know what Steam is
>he was just making small talk because normal people love small talk
>I realize I'm not supposed to actually answer his question, I'm supposed to say "nothing much, you?"
I'm not exactly new to this "autism" thing, but holy fuck it's always hard to talk to people :autism_hat:

Willful blindness and happy ignorance are adaptive strategies. Who leads the happier life, the sheep dog that is always on edge because he is acutely aware of all the dangers in the world, or the sheep who can happily graze and wonder about, without a worry in the world, leaving the worry and hard work for others?

Ignorance is bliss, and the wise man knows no peace. Why oh why didn't I take the blue pill?
