True. And maybe they don't need to know the full extent of it anyway.

Good for you. But maybe I would like to have a vocabulary to understand myself and my experiences, which is something I've lacked for most of my life. I don't relate to other people, and consequently cannot share with them my feelings or experiences, not in any meaningful way.

I didn't say anything. I was just wondering if this is what people meant by "being yourself," or if the lighthearted joking would've been a good opportunity to open up about deeper topics. I'm guessing not.
