I am finding, that i get easily manipulated, aspecially when it comes to other people’s enjoyment. I usually know, when it’s happening and still go along with it. This is supposed to be a lightharted post (not asking for help or empathy, I just hope to know more).
For me, at least, it is kind of empathy coupled with social anxiety, regardless of autism or not.
It’s like a defense/coping mechanism to reflect the attitude/tone of the other person to make them feel more comfortable/agreeable imo.
