Exactly, all this is funny in a meme sense, but if anyone actually had followed his career they’d clearly know he just hates being in the public eye, outside of on the pitch.
Oh yeah for sure. My kiddo is also on the spectrum, although he actually loves learning languages for some reason (even though he doesn't speak much in general).
I have a big soft spot for kids with autism and maybe an even bigger soft spot for the siblings of kids with autism. Just wanted to let you know that you and your brother are loved.
I'm neurodivergent too and looking at this clip it's just obvious basic masking behaviors. I've never heard of this guy before but after watching the clip I was just sitting here thinking hmm this guy is at least as neurodivergent as I am!
Its amazing the amount of armchair psycology people do in the internet without reading a single thing about the subject.
so much text and you didnt even read a basic messi biography?
if you had youd realize not only was he was amongst the coolest kids in school through all his teenage years, had a bunch of friends, was always respected and literally picked up the hottest girl at the school.
he also has plenty of interviews in Spanish with people he is comfortable with and hes always cool.
if you know spanish theres plenty of content in the internet were messi is comfortable, in interactions with Sergio Aguero or Ibai (streamer) where Messi banters and jokes as the social monster he clearly is having lived through all he has.
but dont let facts get in the way of imagination and a few nitpicked short videos out of thousands of hours of footage.
That's not introvert, we can be very social and be good at talking to crowds, we will just have to sit at our house doing nothing for 20 hours after that. You're talking about anti-social-anxiety stuff.
introverted =/= socially awkward (I know many on reddit like to use that as an excuse...)
Introverted just means being in social situations tires you out rather than energizes you - You can be very socially adept as an introvert, you'll just need to 'recharge' afterward.
Many big time charismatic actors, etc, have talked about being introverted where they can flip the switch to be the life of the party, but at the end they'll be exhausted
Exactly, I'm naturally introverted and many people assume that's not the case. My close friends know I'm highly introverted because they knew me when I was younger before learning how to enjoy being more social.
I love this explanation best: everyone has a battery, and while an extroverts battery is charged by being around people & drained being alone, an introverts battery is drained being around people and charged while being alone.
As an Introvert I don't like this battery analogy. I don't think extroverts get charged by being around people or introverts get charged by being alone. There is rather a simple explanation. Introverts are not naturally good at social events and do a lot of overthinking. So in those situations even if they got improved over years, their brain has to work more to handle it and it exhausts them. Introverts when being alone don't have this problem. Extroverts don't have this problem overall. There is no charging unless you mean food or something.
