So many times I’ve bumped into someone I haven’t seen for a while or maybe someone even texted me after a while, and they say “we should meet up and do x”.
In 100% of cases they never get back in touch to do x. In 100% of the small proportion of cases where I’ve approached them to take them up on their offer to do x, some excuse is manufactured and x does not happen.
So WHY do people say this?
Don’t know why people do this. It’s weird to say one thing but do another in my mind. Maybe because I take things literally. Sometimes people say these things but don’t really mean it. Will probably never get it. It’s just one of those grey areas that are hard for us autistic people to read.
