Me, minding my own business just chillin:
Also me: What if the real reason I don’t have a lot of friends is not bc I have strong boundaries and low tolerance for nonsense but actually bc autism / C-PTSD / ADHD / OCPD make me a terribly intolerable human to be around?

This is so much more real for me than anyone wants to admit.
But I recently learned that small talk isn't about the content of the conversation. It's just performative friendliness so people can establish limited trust in uncomfortable situations.
