Like most people, I was born at a really young age...
Define "myself" lol, which mask do they want
Me struggling to reply to this post...
Seriously, what are you supposed to say?
as soon as anyone asks me anything about myself I immediately forget literally everything and become dumber than a goldfish
When people ask me things like "What's your favorite song" I'm like "uhhhhhh idk I don't remember any songs" every time
It's especially hard for me since my favorite anything changes. I don't like being restrained to one favorite thing all the time. It really depends on the situation. For example, with music, it depends on my current situation and emotional disposition. Sometimes I really like a super sad song, and sometimes I like an exciting energetic song. Having long-term favorites is something I don't understand.
That and writing descriptions on websites
I put everything into ChatGPT now to make words sound human.
The inverse is when I write accessibility descriptions. Those get really detailed
