    The thing I don’t get about masking is how it’s any different from standard mental filtering most people do in casual and professional social settings.

    If I acted however I wanted whenever I wanted I wouldnt have many friends, let alone stay employable.

    Coincidentally, I have many autistic friends, who have explained the concept to me before - I still don’t really get it, but I don’t need to understand it to still respect my friends.

    But internally, it just sounds like complaining. Idk. If anyone has a decent explanation I’d be interested.
