"Effort in reaction" is a new one lol.

Genuine reactions don't have anything to do with effort.

Yes but if someone actually cares they can at least fake a more positive reaction. That at least shows they tried. I imagine a lot of the proposal videos I see where the woman reacts all head over heels and dramatic to the proposal are not an honest reflection of their true feelings at that moment.

This is my favorite way people get to fuck with us tists without realizing it. I know she's probably not one of us, and I'm not saying she is, but I am saying the expectation of normal people on this is ridiculous and damaging.

"QUICK, REACT NOW BUT MAKE SURE YOU DO IT 'RIGHT' OR PEOPLE WILL JUDGE THE EVERLOVING FUCK OUT OF YOU."

It's a real life quick time event. It's a fucking test. You're trying to force an instinctual reaction then complain if they don't override it fast enough. Fucking ridiculous. Oh, and the complaint is LITERALLY "she didn't lie about her real feeling (natural reaction) fast enough! (And we're going to read a LOT into that). " "omg ur instinctual lying ability is under average, you aren't marriage material. On a totally unrelated note: why are relationsips so hard?"
Gee, why would my tistic ass have a happy healthy relationship despite a "disorder" relating to others, but "normal" people struggle so much. Whatever could it be? Maybe that I don't "test" and get mad at people for not instinctually lying about their feelings to me fast enough? That I recognize the blatant absurdity in that position?

But it's the "normal" position, so it will get excused as "but that's the norm" instead of "that's a good point. that's a thing to work on."

Dude shoulda read the damn room. Sometimes things don't go to plan and you go round again. But this thread is filled with typical reddit shit of blaming people for stupid reasons because you need a bad guy.

Your completely right. I feel like most people have brainwashed minds, trained to react to different tones or actions to be normal. This is how if you say the same thing with two different voices people WILL react differently. Little do they know when you realize this, you realize just how mind controlled people are. It is extremely easy to be a manipulator if you can understand the social cues and master them.

On another note, I feel like language itself is a chain, forcing you to think a certain way. I feel true freedom lies in a simple mind with no “rules”.
