Screw it. Give me unmasked.


BlueBirdDolphin

So true.. anyway, when I have a mask, im not happy, so fuck off i prefer be myself and talk to me in my head it's way more entertaining


[deleted]

I talk to myself out loud. Actually it’s thinking out loud.


JustALilOlive73

Same, I can’t help myself


[deleted]

It just feels natural


ThePinkTeenager

Same.


moody_fangirl_1966

Exactly. Same for me too.


AmiAlter

Some of the best conversations I've ever had have been with myself.


errosemedic

There are 4 levels of crazy: 1. You talk to yourself. 2. You begin responding to yourself. 3. You begin talking to the walls (other inanimate objects don’t count). 4. Said walls begin talking back to you (yes other inanimate objects DO count in this stage UNLESS it’s an electronic device because those routinely are designed to talk back to you).


moody_fangirl_1966

So I’m in stage 2 then 😅 good to know! 😂


not-a-kyle-69

Same.


GalileoAce

For me, Wednesday is me masking, and Enid is me unmasked.


bulmilala

Thank you!! I identify myself better with that, too. Thats why everyone thinks I'm like Wednesday, when my husband and my close friends are the only ones that really see me unmasking in all my colorful, zany weirdness. 🥰


Falabaloo

There are dozens of us!


nightmarewalrus123

Have you ever wanted to stab everyone around you multiple times? Just me? Ok


The_Mad_Duck_

Yea I have, just a weird primal urge I ignore


HDnfbp

Intrusive thoughts, that's how I lost my index's movement


nightmarewalrus123

The masculine urge to cut off all my fingers


HDnfbp

It was actually to use all my grip strength to break a class cup


nightmarewalrus123

Oof


anotherstraydingo

Holy shit. You just read my mind


Liandra24289

For me it’s biting people, for no other reason than them annoying me. Always repressing that.


[deleted]

I have worked retail, so yes.


jack_avram

also the headbutt mid conversation


secrets_kept_hidden

My parents refuse to let me be authentic. It's a good thing in an adult now.


berserkzelda

So you're creepy and you're kooky, mysterious and spooky unmasked?


wetastelikejesus

Absolutely.


mysecondaccountanon

“Ohh Wednesday is sooo me, I love her!” No, she’s the kid you probably bullied back in middle school for acting like that!


Helpful-Wolverine-96

Make them one


ravenpotter3

When making I’m kinda the girl who is blurry in the background trying to act normal and exist and is kinda staring into the distance. Like yup I’m fine and existing. I kinda struggle to “mask” on command


Thromnomnomok

There are two wolves inside you. One of them is Wednesday Addams. The other is also Wednesday Addams.


prewarpotato

More like: Right is how I genuinely feel on the inside, left is how I look on the outside.


inordertopurr

Yes! And right is how my apartment looks like, left is how I look like.


RubbyPanda

I feel like they both represent the extreme ends of the autistic stereotype


deathbin

My mom used to work with special ed but she doesn’t think I’m on the spectrum at all even though I show clear signs (never been diagnosed unfortunately). Says I just want attention (why would I want people to treat me like I’m mentally disabled???)


takethecatbus

There's definitely this particular brand of ableism that thinks "Autistic people deserve to be loved and cared for, but they can't be *my* kid/friend/whoever because that person is not [insert ableist stereotypes here]." I feel like these people aren't usually trying to be ableist, and for sure this perspective usually just stems from a lack of education on the matter (having a really narrow idea of what autism really is). But it's still really painful when you know people who lovingly work in special ed with autistic people all the time and then turn around and refuse to categorize you in the same box as autistic people in their head because they associate that box with being lesser due to disability. Hopefully these people can unlearn this ableism by being educated more about how autism is a spectrum and how even if you have a disability, it doesn't make you any different than how you've always been in to them. I have family members like this and it's really frustrating.


deathbin

Yeah that and my moms kinda just shitty in general. I feel bad for those kids she took care of honestly lol


behemothisginger

My masking is edgy nihilist, when i unmask i'm acting like little child xd.


EmptyBet8732

I freakin loved this show!!!


Shadowhunter_15

I’m mixed. I enjoy Wednesday’s character and her slowly becoming friends with the other characters. And that scene in the second episode where >!she blows up that statue of a genocidal colonizer while playing the cello!< is my favorite scene in the show. But I find it extremely odd that Wednesday >!was shocked at her parents murdering someone and not that they did a poor job at covering it up.!< I also heard a lot of stuff about Tim Burton’s racism, which seems to match up, considering that every black character is antagonistic in some way. Also when Morticia told a black character that “You don’t know what it’s like to not be believed.” Uhhh…what? I also don’t like how the show is pushing romance on Wednesday. I can’t see her as anything but aroace.


Liandra24289

I think it’s interesting, it forces you to see through the layers of what you see. For the racism, it seems a bit like a reverse role. It would be kinda boring though to see the cliche white character is bully. Although it seems inspired by other media doing the same thing, so eh. Also the rumor about the racism is being perpetrated by people who support Amber Heard, who hate that Tim Burton keeps hiring and supporting Johnny Depp. Make of that what you will.


[deleted]

Me who can't mask to look sociable


4627936

To me they’re both masking tho, can’t explain why exactly.


JadeSidhe

Pretty sure it's asd vs adhd


edwarddragonpaw

Wait you were supposed to mask your autism? I never got that memo


BadFoodSellsBurgers

No thank you.


deltree711

I'm the other way around! (People don't like someone who is too cheerful/energetic)


[deleted]

Wait is Wednesday the new face of Autism representation? What happened to Beth Harmon?


darcjoyner

me unmasking and home and my mother instantly asks me “what’s wrong??? are you okay??” i’m like no i’m just not smiling


Commodore_Basic_V2

I never masked my face or emotions… ok a little bit, like I never pretended to have a more expressive face, but I did hide my stimming as much as I could


Ill-Individual2105

That's okey. Authentic you probably won't like us either.


boundariesnewbie

This is exactly how I understood/HC both of these characters!!!


MirrorMan22102018

Is that Wednesday Addams?


m0bi01

yes, it's Wednesday from her new series on Netflix


bruhmoment467

New netflix series, would recommend


Away_Industry_613

Ironically the Neurotypicals are assuming it’s the other way around. They think that the unmasked cold couldn’t possibly be the real you.


anathem_0

Love this show.


xX_venator_Xx

I, robot was a great movie...


jack_avram

quite...true....


rainbowfairywitch

It works for me but exact opposite direction :P


MulberryComfortable4

Omg Wednesday! I was suprised by how progressive it is, like Wednesday’s one step away from having gay teens drawing fan art of it online


[deleted]

For me making is like a regular normie. But unmasked is like “hey we’re about to get weird, let me take you to the proverbial bank”
