@baldur Social interactions tend to be easier for me, that’s probably the only difference. But as for the rest, I really recognised the same types of misunderstandings I’ve had with people on- and offline. The examples you make — the ‘pessimism’ and the genuine not understanding mistaken for judgement — have repeatedly happened to me as well. You can very well imagine my bafflement.

I enjoy your writing very much, and it seems disarmingly clear to me. Maybe I’m different, maybe we both are…
