This isn’t limited to sexual preferences, though. That’s just...peacocking, bragging because they want you to like them. People who like something for clout are often excessive in their bragging about it. The people who actually like a thing, sexual or otherwise, tend to integrate it and just enjoy that thing for themselves.

Unless you’re autistic, then everyone gets to know about it. But that’s noticeable too.

The difference is between saying, “I’m a freak in bed,” and “Let me tell you about this one super-niche part of the rope-play community and how it’s actually more of an art form than anything sexual.”

Well see thats the thing.

I am autistic.

Autistic people tend to only info dump when its either a very low stakes, close to anonymous environment... or, when they actually really really trust or admire someone. In the latter case, the infodumping itself is a sign that they basically like you, are comfortable with you.

To me, normies that peacock most or all of their personality... they just think their masks are themselves. They seem to barely even be aware of what they are doing.

Whats actually happening is that really, only the mask actually exists.

Theres not very much underneath, beyond basically the mindset of an immature child/teenager.

And that kind of a person, frankly, is so mentally childlike, that at least to me, I can't be turned on by or sexually attracted to that... they're just a child in an adult body. They have too little self awareness and self understanding for me to view them as a responsible adult capable of giving informed consent.

I get you.

The day you realize that you're more than your mask can be earth-shattering. I still remember mine, and it took me another decade to start learning who I was behind it.
