I don't tknow the coworker, but OP is obviously GAY.

[-] Kellenved@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 hours ago

OP is the coworker following the guy around. And they thought we wouldn’t notice smh my head

[-] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 hours ago

Totally in love and heartbroken. Bmh my heart too.

[-] chunes@lemmy.world 15 points 6 hours ago

I've been in this literal exact situation. If it hadn't happened 20 years ago I'd be worried this anon is talking about me

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 1 hour ago

Same, I'm such a dumb fuck! Nothing Gigachad about that.

[-] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 12 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

As an autistic woman who's usually attracted to others on the spectrum, I am worried anon is talking about me

[-] FatVegan@leminal.space 13 points 5 hours ago

Sometimes i tell my girlfriend stories about weird people in my life and she's like: yeah, she was into your autistic ass. Nonono, she was doing this and that... Oh honey.

I love how autism has become this fetishized thing that you slap onto all people operating outside of expected parameters.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 25 points 6 hours ago

That’s exactly what I’d expect an autistic person to say.

[-] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 13 points 7 hours ago

I don't think that's what fetishized means.

[-] silverneedle@lemmy.ca 13 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

It is. It refers to things being held in special regard in social arrangements, to an religious extent. The autism discourse, with all the memes and such, does more often than not include a cult-like adherence to beliefs around certain behaviours that anyone could display, shifting focus away from the developmental aspects of autism which are very much real and to diagnostic markers that are less than well defined but are used in clinical settings like: trouble at work/school/kindergarten [Y/N], and certain things the hiveminds of the world latch onto. There I think of people regarding dislike of the "big" light as being an indicator for autism(???).

[-] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Autistim is the new 'touched by god'.

Makes one wonder if vampires are autistic.

[-] jerkface@lemmy.ca -1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

That's a very informal, essentially slang usage of the word. It's so informal that it's pointless to argue about whether it's even correct. At any rate better word could certainly have been chosen.

[-] silverneedle@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Huh?

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fetishism

Entry 1. and 3., I don't think you know what you are talking about.

literally what it means. People treat words like divine tangible streams of meaning when they're just sounds we make

[-] jerkface@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Either you're using "literally" in a non-literal fashion, or you're using it to make your statement even more incorrect.

[-] Psionicsickness@reddthat.com 3 points 8 hours ago

Ding ding ding, we have a winner!

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 169 points 12 hours ago

I work with a guy like this. Lead his icebreaker with "I don't understand people so don't expect me to interact with you."

He's the most brilliant person I've ever worked with. His knowledge is encyclopedic. He will show you how what you're asking is idiotic in as few words as is necessary. He has no fear of manager or customer.

He has my eternal allegiance.

[-] Bombastic@sopuli.xyz 23 points 5 hours ago

He has no fear of manager or customer.

Oh to be such a brave man

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 hours ago

It helps if your field of fucks is barren and you've none left to give. I really love it. My boss told me if I wanna go up in the hierarchy I'll need some diplomacy training to speak to higher ups and I'm like "do you really think I say those things by accident?!" :,D

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 18 points 9 hours ago

I would follow that man into hell.

looking at the lyrics of that song, i would not exactly stan

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 96 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Wouldn't quite call this "gigachad" behavior, but it's good and healthy to not jump on literally anyone who offers, even if you aren't particularly interested. I suspect anon sees this as "gigachad" because they're steeped in manosphere/incel ideology (unsurprising for a 4chan user).

Definitely autistic, possibly including the woman.

[-] hector@lemmy.today 2 points 4 hours ago

Yeah I don't associate being rude to someone that is awkwardly expressing an interest in you, cool, or alpha, or whatever the fuck gigachad is, it's just a dick move, that will make that person expressing interest lose confidence to ask out the next person, which is a problem in today's society more than ever with online dating kind of poisoning the well.

There is a nice way to say no, and autism is no excuse for not being nice there.

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 6 points 4 hours ago

We don't know whether the guy already tried saying 'no' in a nice way, though. Sometimes people just don't get the hint, especially if one or both people in the interaction are neurodiverse.

[-] hector@lemmy.today 1 points 4 hours ago

I suppose that's true, but I know many people think their hints are obvious, when they aren't to a great many of us, at least in the moment after the fact we might realize someone hinted at us. People are dense at times, not just autists either. So maybe they thought they had been clear in their rejection of their attention but it wasn't picked up on?

I mean I have been hit on by people I've no interest in, and I've never been so rude. I've also asked people out and had them rudely say no when a more polite way would have been appreciated, and they might have thought hints were clear, but they weren't to me at all. And I'm not alone in being slow to take the hints, men in general are slow to get such hints by woman they are rather known for it as I understand it.

[-] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 hours ago

If this is true, then you're almost certainly right.

[-] GalacticSushi@piefed.blahaj.zone 66 points 12 hours ago

First line reminds me of office space

[-] Azzu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 8 hours ago

As opposed to inaudibly shouting

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 24 points 11 hours ago

Fake: woman interested in man

Gay: anon is jealous

[-] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

Ungay: anon is a woman too.

Completlely flips the script, doesn't it?

[-] Zozano@aussie.zone 10 points 7 hours ago

No, it's just gay with extra steps

[-] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

You must show your working

[-] Zozano@aussie.zone 5 points 7 hours ago

It's gymnastics more than math.

[-] needanke@feddit.org 11 points 9 hours ago

Regay: anon is jealous of the guy, because she has a crush on the women following him.

[-] damnthefilibuster@lemmy.world 16 points 11 hours ago

Gigachads don’t shout, do they?

[-] Goatboy@lemmy.today 6 points 6 hours ago

Or they only shout. No in between

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 8 hours ago

An autistic gigachad, obviously.
