if you feel like you're always getting talked over, or if you feel like you're always accidentally interrupting people, you should consider looking into some of the linguistics research about conversation style and turn-taking. lingthusiasm podcast has a great episode called "how to rebalance a lopsided conversation" that goes over some of this research in a really accessible way; Deborah Tannen's book You just don't understand is an early book¹ that's aimed at general audiences on the same topic.

the thing is, when there's conflict in how a conversation flows, often what's going on is a mismatch in norms or expectations -- not that one person is necessarily acting "wrong" and the other person is "right." the mismatches in norms/expectations can and do align with existing power structures in society, but being more aware of them can really help you as an individual trying to navigate them.

you can train your brain for more linguistic awareness! start listening for pauses, intakes of breath, or back-channeling that's meant to support, not interrupt. try it out!

¹ I am linking to the wikipedia page for the book rather than a link to buy the book because it's kind of outdated and the criticism section on the wiki page is pretty reasonable. If you do read this book, be prepared for uhhhh period-typical gender essentialism that, to my knowledge, Tannen has not particularly updated her views on in the intervening time. But it is an influential and important book, just read it skeptically imo

Ask If Single Social Interaction

Social - Ask If Single

This social mod adds an option for one Sim to ask another if they are single.

Children or older may ask teens or older if they are single. As this is a story-telling / aide-mémoire mod, the Sim being asked will always respond.

As an autistic person I struggle with the process of making friends in the sense that, I never know how or when to bridge the gap between “acquaintances” and “friends” and just kinda get stuck there

They're active! But hey, it's not automatic, okay? There are days when I'm full of my own ideas and want to post what I've already imagined, there are days when I'm uninspired, there are days when I'm busy… In short, several factors. What I promise from the bottom of my heart is: nothing will be ignored. I will always respond to you, whether with a "yes, I will write," "it won't happen," or "maybe in the future." You deserve this respect.
