I’m going to preface this post by saying I am above avg in looks. I only say this so that y’all understand that I’m going to talk about this topic objectively. And no I’m not sending you a selfie. My findings are based on my experience at an American university of a decent size.
This is the most water post on org but it’s a way of connecting my .org thoughts with the real world around me.
What I was thinking about is the value this community places on romantic and sexual connection with the opposite sex, this is natural of course, as we are a social species, however, I don’t think we place enough value in our ability to form human connection on a basic level.
A lot of users on here who looksmax, Leave behind their Neurotypical-ness for a singular point on the looks scale. And listen. If you reached High htn and above you can probably get away with not being considered NT as long as you are not a freak.
However. a lot of the users here are ascending from ltn to Mtn or maybe even MTN+. Rarely are they even breaking the door to htn. And as such due to the nature of the BP they question their own ability to be accepted whereas they would have been able to socialize at least a little before. (Unless you were always ND and ugly).
Now I have noticed in real life in order to socialize at work or in class, looks don’t matter on the scale that they would if you were trying to pick up a girl (again this thread is water). yes if you are good looking more people will want to talk to you and flatter you but you don’t need to be good looking to socialize as long as you are NT.
So many times I’ve seen MTB-LHTB have fun interacting with high ltns and the guys are proper members of their circle, of course they will never have the chance to date but that’s besides the point. However I will say that from what I have seen sub4s will be bullied directly for trying to join in.
People are unkind, and the lie that we have been told about “everyone maturing when they get older” is bullshit. Don’t count on others to be kind and patient with you. Instead be normal and don’t act anxious around new people. Instead of thinking “I hope I can date one of these girls” or “I hope these guys think I’m cool enough to hangout” think instead of what can bring you and them the most enjoyment out of the current moment. Be curious about others, I’m not saying probe about their life but if they give you information about themselves make an effort to show that you appreciate their trust and willingness to communicate with you.
It is a gift to socialize with other human beings. Don’t waste it if you have it.
