It weirds me out when people talk about I-statements and other such speaking techniques.
Is this an autism thing? Like, are allistics actually capable of doing that anywhere close to reliably (assuming they choose to)?
I...basically, I am a Mass Effect character. I can generally control the *gist* of what I am saying (barring the occasional misclick), but for the most part I cannot control the exact words that come out of my mouth: I just have to hope that the phrasing doesn't have connotations or implications that I didn't intend. It's hard enough to make sure I always have the right number of *negations*, and you want me to use *I-statements*??
