Have you ever self-censored?

Neurodivergent do it all the time because the truth is not casually dropped in conversations.
More often than not, they simply don't understand social cues, don't understand people and don't see the bigger picture (yes, this person is wrong now, but why does it matter? Would the correction and argument that comes with it serve anyone besides yourself and a need to 'be right'?). And then they commit social faux pas but, since they can't tell, they don't understand what happened. But people are often accommodating and will often let it slide because, well, they're not neurodivergent and understand those with Germanic-style 'tisms don't understand what they're doing.

Self-censorship is the act of censoring or classifying one's own discourse, typically out of fear or deference to the perceived preferences, sensibilities, or infallibility of others, and often without overt external pressure.
Depending.
To close friends I don't.
To strangers, yes.

People are far to easily pissed off, especially when being objectively wrong.

Sometimes, sometimes there are deeper things we should've taken into account (the more you know life and people and understand body language, the easier it is to recognise it) and we have, unknowingly and unnecessarily, caused them pain.

Very often. I regularly consciously do not post comments, or write something and then don't post it.
I think you could call it self-regulation, though. It's better we don't always share everything in every situation.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Quite often. On Lemmy when posting to .ml, and on most political things IRL because of the rural, conservative area I'm in.
I think as long as you're "pushing the envelope", it's justifiable. It's only once you do more than required to escape direct punishment, maybe to get some kind of reward or be further down the dissident list than the next person, that you become a part of the problem.

Google hates my projects if I don't censor certain words. As far as that is the highest contributer of traffic, what can I do?
