The Mask Tax

May 3, 2026

Small talk isn’t just awkward for neurodivergents; it’s a tax on authenticity.

Every forced “how was your weekend?” is a microtransaction of your realness, paid to access neurotypical spaces.

The cringe is about the gap between who you are and who you’re “supposed” to be.

Neurotypical society built the rules.

Neurodivergents just refuse to pretend they make sense.

The obvious question is why anyone with depth tolerates it.
