My girlfriend will look at things eg. Colours, items, clothes, food etc and point out all the things she likes. For me those things just exist and I don’t have much of an opinion on them. Like theres 100 paint colours them but they’re all fine, how am I meant to know whether any are better than the others.
I am also not known to get visually excited about things, I got a skydive for my 30 birthday and I think everyone was disappointed with my reaction even though inside I was very excited to do it.
I have favorite colours and types of music and YT channels but if someone asks me what my favourite food is, the answer is either: FREE FOOD or I dunno.
Excitement is a weird one for me too. Sometimes I feel like a lot of my ‘excitement’ is just an act so other people think I’m excited.
I get excited over autism special interests. However, I typically don’t show that side of me because it looks very weird. I’ll pace around and dream up some crazy ideas.
