Do you often despise people who like you and help you a lot? - eviltoast

    Only when they help poorly. Which is often.
    Then I’m frustrated since it’s impolite for me to complain about them helping out.

      Sometimes, it helps to say:

      “Thanks for trying to help, but the same inputs lead to different areas to light up in our brains. It’s not an issue with missing empathy. You just work on a different operating system than me, and telling me how I shall execute that “.exe” properly while all my brain-programms work with “.asd” just isn’t helping.”

      (and yes, that is in some details not correct, but never did an ND nitpick about that. I say it in another language, tho xD)
