I think one of the things that has brought me the most peace in my life was the decision to stop responding to anything not clearly stated to me.
Anxiety: Oh no your friend hates you!
Me: Well they didn't say that. So either they need to fortify and tell me themselves, or I will continue to be their friend exactly as I am.
Not just that though. When people hint drop that they want a thing from you, I act as if I have not noticed at all. Either you directly ask me for that thing, or you are not getting that thing from me.
I actually decided to start doing this because I got diagnosed as autistic and I realised how much stress and unhappiness I put on myself trying to figure out everyone's motives and wants and needs all the time. So I decided I'd just... Stop.
And I tell people that. I tell people "I don't notice or respond to hints or passive aggressive behaviour. Either you need to be straight with me or I will continue as I am." And you know the only person that has had a problem with it?
My former abuser (who I am vvvvv low contact with). Because they relied on me feeling obligated to respond to their unspoken moods and wants to keep me in line.
Everyone else has been immediately on board and my relationships have gotten SO much stronger. Because I am asked directly for things, and I will give a direct reason for my response, regardless of what that response is. (e.g. "Hey, can you call me, I want company on the drive home!" "No, sorry, I'm in the middle of [task], but I will be done in twenty minutes so if you still want my company then, I'll be happy to.")
So I put this out as a suggestion for all people, ND and NT.
Stop responding to hints, passive aggression and other 'unspoken' things. Use, model and encourage clear communication with everyone, you'd be surprised how much easier it makes EVERYTHING!

The Dead Host of God
Poor Cyn :(
edit: I forgot to mention that she has been declawed as you can see her hand claws are pretty short (it's forced declawing, AS asked her if she wanted her claws back. Cyn declined its offering)
- The First host of the Absolute Solver. She views the Absolute Solver as the Savior since it saved her from becoming one of forgotten scraps in the graveyard of disassembled drones, willfully to do anything for it, not knowing its true not-so-innocuous intentions. The Absolute Solver requests her to feed the Pit of Flesh (mostly dead humans anyways) once a month, Cyn not questioning (she did questioned it once though) thanks to Tessa often digging the corpses up to just collect their hair. - Cyn was known as a sweet weirdo (and pesky scraps of metal to the certain humans) to everyone in the Elliot manor [The time event before she was improperly disassembled and the trio's existence] - As she spends more time in the manor, she slowly grows paranoid of what would the humans do if they catch her sacrificing their fellows to a unknown entity she don't know that it's not what it said or what the Solver will do if it ever knew Cyn told Tessa and J about its existence. - Ya know what happened on the Gala night except that Tessa's not dead. (I will explain more later in the Absolute Solver's post) - After the Gala Night event, Cyn's now realized its true intentions and doesn't want to be in its plan anymore. But it's too late for her to pause its planning, it took over her coding and changed her personality into a completely different drone, meaning she's long gone now.
At least she can rest in peace without the knowledge of what the Absolute Solver has done after it changed her coding...
Sigh... more of my murder drones ocs- I don't know when I will update their design...
Feast on them, my children!
