New hypothesis:
The old, autistic, vibedeaf personality (before Covid got in my brain and reshuffled things, sorry for the repetition regulars but i want reblogs to come with context) developed all the mental SONAR stuff so that without being able to percieve people’s projections of their inner state I could still determine it, much like deaf people who can’t perceive sound learn to read lips, which was key to social stuff.
And this is why I’ve historically been drawn to girls with BPD, because when you have to engage with other people by theory of mind, personality disorders are enrichment, like a pumpkin full of meat in a tiger cage.
