nonverbal, ???, unwanted physical contact 

have a joint to a random honelesss person and he tried to hug me so i spoke(!!) with my voice(!!!) and said "aaaa!!!!! no way man aaaaa"

re: nonverbal, ??? 

ugh i want to understand the limits of this thing, i want to understand what causes it and what it means when it does/doesn't happen; but i have no way of finding out other than doing the single thing i am worst at: listening to myself

it might be: unmasking. because:: by speaking when i don't want to, i am Hollywood Acting to make myself hopefully seem more neurotypical

it might be: masking. because:: i am trying to appease People Around Me, who i by default (due to years of conditioning) always assume don't want to hear any of what i have to say

nonverbal, autism?, question with no definite answer probably 

i still haven't figured out if by not speaking i am unmasking, or just adding another layer of masking to the existing pile

obviously an excellent morning. i wanna die 😎👍
