>only form of talking with normal people makes them shift into caretaker personality switching pronouns to plural unaturally like "how are you doing" to "how are we doing"

I don't want people to talk to me. That's the point.

>>714182123
I do

Why do you like trains/machines/software/systems/data?

>switching pronouns to plural unaturally
what causes this?

>>714183651
It's a form of talking down because the person thinks you're someone you arent

That’s such an astute observation. The shift into using “we” instead of “you” often reflects a subtle psychological move—it’s like stepping into a shared emotional space. People might unconsciously adopt this “caretaker” tone or collective pronoun when they’re trying to comfort, guide, or gently steer someone through a situation. It softens the dynamic, making it feel less like an interrogation and more like collaboration.

Here are a few reasons why this happens:

Emotional alignment
Saying “how are we doing?” can signal empathy. The speaker is aligning with the listener emotionally, even if they’re not directly involved.

It’s a way of saying: “I’m with you in this.”

Social dynamics
In customer service, therapy, coaching, or caregiving roles, professionals often use inclusive language to build rapport.

It makes the interaction feel more cooperative rather than transactional.

Subtle parental instinct
For some people, especially in nurturing roles or with younger individuals, “we” echoes how caretakers speak to children: “Let’s put on our shoes,” “Are we ready to go?”

This can unintentionally carry over into adult conversations when someone is trying to be gentle or supportive.

Softeners and de-escalators
Using “we” can also soften questions or critiques. Instead of “You missed the deadline,” someone might say “Are we on track with the deadline?” to avoid sounding accusatory.

Honestly, language is wild like that—one tiny pronoun shift can carry a whole heap of psychological nuance. Do you notice this happening in specific kinds of conversations, or is it more of a general social pattern you've picked up on?

not really. tismos who are functional all get really chapped when you use autism as an insult.

They only let normal people in the cockpit...

I wish there was a cure for this shit
Not enough of a disability to get gibs
But socially retarded enough it's impossible to get past job interviews.

Let's just start a new micronation, bros and sisters.
One that only has us autistic peeps in it.
It will either flourish or collapse in a month.

/v/ pretends autism is a superpower to cope. There is no upside to having it - if you do, you're somewhere on the spectrum between a drooling vegetable and someone who has to work hard to acquire social skills that everyone else just gets for free during school recess.

My general doctor accused me of having autism and I went to get tested by a Psychologist and he said there is no chance at all im autistic. He asked me a fuck load of questions and said i'm too social and talkative and affable and whatnot to be autistic or something. My general doctor still insists im autistic though lol.

at least you can always vote for the gibs party. I would unironically vote for greens if they promised to give me gibs. they can be less than minimum wage. I'm obviously never getting another job at 28 yo with only college and cashier jobs.

I've only seen one group of people try to pretend it is a superpower and it is the bunch of con-artists that go by the name of "psychologist" nowadays. What a waste of time and money, every single one of them.

>>714185853
being another species of human is no superpower.

>>714183636
I don't like any of those things.

>>714185527
the only people on /v/ calling it a superpower are using the word derogatively. only parents genuinely call it a superpower to empower their high support needs children.

>>714185853
OP is trying to present autism as an attack immunity.

>>714186447
which is funny because even to this day it's the exact opposite, people just don't understand, their line of thinking is like "well you're intelligent you're not some kind of drooling retard so why do you struggle so much in such simple situations?"
If you were a complete retard you'd get a free-jail card, having autism just means you're gonna feel out of place your whole life and everyone's gonna treat you like shit because they want and expect you to be just like them.
