You just made a nemesis. Your mutual hate will make you both push harder and become better boxers. If you are lucky there might be a even bigger threat and you will come together in an uneasy alliance which causes a bond of mutual respect to be born.

On a seriouser note some people have shame about where they work. Maybe it was that.

I don't know the situation but I wouldn't read too much into it, when I've worked as a server there were like a dozen things I'd have to keep track of at any point and I could not interact properly lol. I'd be embarrassed if I saw anyone I knew also.

Lol, where I live in this little village it would be hard to go out and not see someone you know personally, honestly I'm surprised it took me this long to recognise someone

Can't wait to see them again at boxing and tell them hey, I know you from the bakery don't I

I'm just trying not to be rude by making conversation when we both know eachother, I'm never talking to anyone ever again

Does anyone else find that normies are both way better at getting along with one another, and also the most antisocial people in the world?

Maybe they are ND too and that is why they were socially awkward.

What is Neurodivergence?

It's ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc

“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”

So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned


Rules

1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them

2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence

2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals

3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.

3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith

4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!

Further rules to be added/ rules to be changed based on community input

RULES NOTE: For this community more than most we understand that the clarity and understandability of these rules is very important for allowing folks to feel comfortable, to that end please don't be afraid to be outspoken about amendments and addendums to these rules, as well as any we may have missed
