Hey my neuro divergent folx! This year I’m trying to develop wit! If you have any tips or advice on how to be or become witty please shoot them my way and I’m tired of people being mean to me and me just laughing it off because I genuinely do not know how to respond. Okey thanks! - ThreadSky

one thing that helped me was reading books w witty characters in it especially if the author describes exactly how they move and speak! it kinda gave me an idea of how to move

Any recommendations for books? I’d love to read some I’m watching drag race right now and that’s like making me aware of some things lmao 🤣

maybe odd advice, but don’t explicitly copy other people if that makes sense? i’m actually trying to develop the same thing! trying to be sharp tongued the way others are makes me freeze even further bc i get stuck cross checking my words with someone else’s to see if it’s a good “read” or not—

instead i’m trying to lean back into the things i learned to mask when growing up bc of the general suppression of things deemed to be “Attitude” when in reality i was standing up for myself. if that sounds similar to you maybe it may help idk!! if not sorry to send you such an irrelevant text wall😭

but the result is overall i’m not freezing bc im not for example trying to think of something Bianca Del Rio would say yk?
Plus a lot of it is confidence, if people can MAKE you back down they will, so find out what your guns even are so you can stick to them HARD😮‍💨

Yeah I think my main issue is that when people are making a pass at me I don’t recognize it till way later so like it isn’t even that I don’t know what to say but that I don’t know that I’m supposed to say something if that makes sense? I guess I need to start there 😅

oh tea, i wish i had advice for that bc i still end up punching the air at night like “WAIT A MINUTE!!!!! THEY WERENT BEING NICE AT ALLLLLL!!!!😭😭😭”
