I just had a huge breakthrough about neurotypicals and art

In my head, I thought it was normal to be completely vulnerable 24/7 and tell everyone everything about yourself and emotions and I thought everyone was like that but vulnerability for them is actually like a curtain that needs to be pulled that they need to pull, that's why people value artists so much cause they are doing that for them and why they "get into their feelings" by listening to music watching tv reading books and watching movies, it explores that for them but for me I'm constantly in that emotional vulnerable and feeling state 24/7.... I didn't know people didn't think emotions and feelings weren't cool. this makes sense why the book I wrote was purchased cause they could probably feel what I felt when I wrote it and maybe that interested them but It feels like It wrote itself and I'm just in this dream
Autism is so strange

An excellent discovery, indeed!

I have feelings; I don't always feel like expressing them. Fortunately, I write poetry, because I can't do visual art if my life depended upon it.
