Do you agree or disagree? On SS, I'm one of the ones that entertain, but in real life, I'm one of the ones that observe.

This is just how the world feels to me as an autistic person- everyone else is acting in an elaborate play and knows the script to a tee, while a person like me will never see the stage.

Entertaining and drawing in a crowd is like second nature to the neurotypical majority, and yet, I am forced into the audience. No matter how many times I try to practice the script, or rehearse the movements and expressions of the actors on stage to try and emulate them, I will never be good enough to participate and to entertain.

Their spontaneity, gracefulness, and charisma, is not something I can copy or absorb. Thus, I can only watch from the sidelines, permanently unfulfilled because it is not physically possible for me to ever fill those roles.

I think I'm neither. I'm just invisible as a whole and I can neither entertain nor observe

IDK. I think the only two types of people in this world are those that are the "pin", and those that are the "cushion", and as soon as you learn which one you are, you're normally better off.

I would interpret it differently.

For me, the world is the entertainer, while I am the observer.
I've always considered myself an observer of the world. I don't enjoy engaging in the world as a "normal" person, but I prefer to observe and analyze people just to wonder "Why are they all like this?", "Why do they think like that?".
I've never been able to understand them, nor they me...

i've been starting to realize more and more that everyone might be a bit more of an observer than they realize. i think most people greatly overestimate their control over their decisions and circumstances, although i think this site might be an exception lol

I see myself as more of an observer but I've been told I can be quite entertaining when I'm not trying, because I'm really not entertaining when I try to be.
