I feel for them. I really do. I just couldn't imagine never being able to just be alone. Not even for just one single second. Everyone needs time alone sometimes.

True, but in some ways it's not as bad for them because they've never known that feeling, so maybe they don't know why people would particularly want it. Like if I asked you if you ever want to spend time away from your legs. I know it's not the same because it's another person but just saying they might never think about that at all.

I follow a deaf creator on social media and sometimes they have days where they don't wear their cochlear implant. Even though it's hard for me to imagine choosing not to hear when you have a device that can help, I get it. It's how they were born. Their natural state of being.

Bro, I'm autistic. I fucking hate noise. I would pay thousands of dollars for the ability to turn my hearing off and on.
