Junhyeong is very autistic and it’s super sad that he doesn’t know it. I’ve had nearly the exact same experiences and luckily had neurodivergent friends who pushed me to go to a psychologist. Lo and behold, not understanding social rules and not being able to tell apart tone or facial expressions makes you socially anxious!!! Knowing I was autistic made life so much easier and better, because you just know your built different, not necessarily an unlovable Eldritch gaseous form, but just a brain that is wired differently, so your able to give yourself grace when social interaction feels like your under attack. I wish Junhyeong had the same development as me, if I went more into my 20s without this knowledge I’d probs think there was something fundamentally wrong with me. He’d probably hate himself way less and maybe even learn to love all those parts of himself he considers way too weird or off putting. Most people have a really high tolerance for weird shit (as long as your not hurting anyone), and yes, you can be that weird shit with no shame and just exist as ur weirdo self.
For the homies who relate to Junhyeong, I recommend going to a psychologist too, also it’s valid to self-diagnose if you don’t have the resources to get an official diagnosis and there are tests online (that psychologists use) that u can take.
Any way. He’s amazing autism rep, I hope the author is aware of what they’re doing. Super classic and relatable personality and thought process. He’s me and all my autistic homies when we’re around each other. (we’re worse.)
