do you ever get to the point where, to protect yourself from being seen as "too serious", you just switch to a general assumption that NT's are, by default, ALWAYS joking, and then have it backfire on you on the occasion they're not? i hate when that happens.
I got that impression from watching situation comedies. I have had people tell me that 'all life isn't funny' and 'we are trying to be serious, here'. But I thought I knew better. I lived for the laugh track and knew when to make a scene ending joke. I also realized that most every problem will be solved by the end of the show, too, so why be so serious about it all?
I went through several decades before I learned different.
