can you explain please! your welcome!! !

I don't seem to have one, unless staying or becoming unnoticed to the point where I may as well just be a decorative fake plant counts (as in, people see me enough not to run into me or anything, but that's about it. I call it "social invisibility," and it happens whether I want it to or not, no matter how hard I may try to join a conversation or something - if I try to say anything, even if I was semi-included at first (like, enough to give a brief greeting to, at least), the others just wait patiently until I'm done (or sometimes just talk over me) and then carry on as if I hadn't said anything. And I'm like a fake plant because a real one would at least be watered every once in a while.).

^ Yep, I get that one too.
I’m operating under the dual assumption that they can’t tell when I’m about to start talking, so don’t stop to make space for my words... and also can’t tell when I have or haven’t finished, so interrupt without meaning to.
(Idea being that if I can’t pick up on their cues, whatever cues a may or may not send out are totally misleading for them since they’re not linked up to the set pattern)

Drawing: mostly geometric these days but I’ve done some still-life sketches I’m quite pleased with in the past. Used to paint with oil on board as well, but haven’t done so for some years now.

Music: I play guitar tolerably well for a self-taught amateur, and I’ve got a few attempts at composing little miniatures which aren’t complete failures.

Gardening: do this one for money, enjoyable activity in the outdoors caring for delicate things, and the occasional landscaping job. I taught myself to build retaining walls and lay block paving three years ago for one job: was at the place today and it’s all still there as I left it
