I recently reblogged a post saying "oversharing, me, going nonverbal" I just wanna make sure yall know that when I post this types of things I actually mean going nonverbal, which I do when I'm really overstimulated or overwhelmed, I do take neurodivergent terms very seriously and I won't ever use "going nonverbal" to say I'm just quiet, or "hyperfixation" to say I've been obsessed with a certain tv show recently, if you see me use those terms I actually mean them, I don't know about the person who posted it but I do.
I'm actually jealous of whoever means staying quiet by going nonverbal. When I go nonverbal I mean it takes so much effort and energy to talk I simply don't, I can force myself to speak but I can't promise anything more than 3 words, and even 3 words are mentally exhausting. Last time I went nonverbal my mother kept getting mad I wouldn't answer her and I started to cry cause it was hard as fuck, not really fun to go nonverbal
