i just wish more would actually say no instead of saying “thanks” or something neutral like that

i can take rejection but thanks comes off like “eh. maybe, but you seem kind of lame/weird”, which in my head becomes a challenge to show them your not lame. which is a thin line between trying to convince them to give you a shot vs being pushy/creepy, if that thanks was meant as a “no thanks”.

as an autist, it frustrates me when people don’t just say what they mean.

when 5 people billionaires own all the media, they can pick and choose what topics people have their attention on
