      But none of their stans are clicking on articles about what they’re wearing unlike Katie here.

      The paparazzi version of Zuck or Jobs is writing an article about some stupid thing they do, even potentially damaging behavior, and convincing the reader it’s evidence of brilliance.

      They wear the same shit because they have no fashion sense. But it’s been spun as “I can’t waste any precious brain power on mundane decisions” which is such a load of BS. What it’s actually demonstrating is they’re both dunces, incapable of picking up basic social skills, unable to engage in basic social behavior, uninterested in exploring something simply for the sake of relating to others.

      There’s all sorts of conclusions to draw.

      But nope, the things you or you do daily well enough by glancing at others, and checking out a store or two is IS JUST TOO MENTALLY TAXING AND WASTING THEIR BRAIN JUICE

          I don’t care about small talk, but I engage in it as a social custom.

          And I don’t try to pretend I’m superior to others for not caring about it.

            Yeh, I believe this is the right approach. It makes sense that it’s important to people to have some rituals around interaction and bonding even if they don’t mean anything to me personally and even if they don’t have any deeper or fundamental meaning.

            I think it would be nice if society were more forgiving of people who struggle with it though, it can lead to a lot of bitterness and resentment.
