A lot of people kiss their pets or non-human animals in general. I find that very weird. I understand that it is a sign of affection but it seems so off. One reason is that I doubt whether animals really understand this. Also it seems to be on a level of intimacy to me that I find weird sharing with a pet. Not necessarily romantically or sexually (that would be even more weird and wrong and probably illegal). But it is still "more". I am not sure whether I can really explain why exactly I find that weird.

Anyway, what is something that is weird to you but not to most other people?

When you say something simple and someone else attacks you over some imaginary meaning or intent. Neurotypical people are unwell.

Not really a neurotypical problem, nice insult though very cool

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 5 points 3 days ago

I know. I just avoid talking when not asked, because people always find a reason to be offended.

A co-worker got mad over that too. Not talking is also very offensive to these people.

Totally agree.

Neurotypical people are unwell.

Wayyy too broad of a statement to agree with. I've seen this behavior from both neurotypical and neurodivergent people.

No need to yell 😖

Typical to everyone = unwell to me

Pretty strong evidence you aren’t well and should be discounted.

Have you been tested? Because you sure took that comment way too literally and seriously.

[–] CaliforniaSober@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ok let me say totally not seriously that autistic people are weird and neuro typicals are cool… so… what is the value of this statement vs yours…

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

Literally asking a question
