do u ever just feel too drained for non literal meanings
Sometimes I feel too drained for even literal meanings.
Often, even.
Like there’s one level of thought where I can do literal meanings, but no higher. And there’s levels of thought below that where I can do sensing, but not literal meaning. I spend a lot of time in those below-levels. Which weirdly can result in a lot of stuff that sounds figurative because it’s based more in sensory experience than in word-meaning-idea experience. (Which is why autistic people are both well-known for being literal, and well-known for using strangely metaphoric-sounding language. Both have been part of the diagnostic criteria at different times. This is why.)
