I find there’s a pretty big distinction between an excited info dump and talking too much

I like passion. I’ll do my best to listen and follow along to an info dump, even if it’s way over my head, because passion is infectious. Some of it bleeds over, and I often find myself learning about something I normally have no interest in. Or I do know about the topic, and I still don’t mind because it can still be a real moment of connection and bonding

There’s something about the genuineness of it that I think is just lost in neurotypicals

On the other hand, it often set my teeth on edge when people are just talking for the sake of talking. It makes me uncomfortable when I feel held captive socially, and over explaining is the worst. It’s so mentally unengaging
