Acting non NT around normies is a death sentence

You literally become an outcast if you show any sign of depression, autism or negativity.

Normies are so out of touch with reality. I try to act as NPC as possible and never give my opinions. NT behavior is basically herd mentality

Depression and being negative aren't considered to be something that makes you neurodivergent. To my knowledge, neurodivergence mainly covers certain neurodevelopmental disorders, such as Autism, ADHD, and communication disorders. But then again, that term has become overused and meaningless at this point...

Okay, but you mention depression and negativity in your post, hence the reply.

The first 2 ones yes. But "negativity"? The average guy is somewhat negative. They never really smile without reason or make a joke to lighten up the mood. And sees in everything only the negative and likes to complain all the time.

Hence, even if rich, ppl will hurt and make you feel alone. This place isn't about happiness, just to have this and that until you die.

This hasn't been my impression. A few years ago I opened up about being depressed and anxious. If anything I feel closer to those around me. I've even continued to receive romantic interest. What shocked me most was finding out that a bunch of people I know have either been on or are on antidepressants.

The closest I've found to what you describe is people not wanting to deal with non-stop negativity. People struggle to put healthy boundaries in place and snap instead. I try and be on guard for this.

Negativity is a big part of the humour here in the UK. We all like to have a good moan.

The whole world is in trouble. Everyone is politics is so freakin evil. It's either one extreme or the other.

There's aren't many paying jobs where can express your opinions. Families and friends will disown you if you're no longer useful to them.
