I know what mate means and who its mainly (stereotypically used by), but as someone whos AUDHD, I don't know you except for only talking to you briefly tonight (once or twice) So for me, terms like Bro, mate or otherwise aren't something I like being called by strangers, even if it was meant with no harm intended.. I don't always respond to things in ways others do. I dont know how to respond to being called things like that when I dont know that person. so if I come off offensive sometimes Its not meant to be taken personally. I miss social cues a lot.
Im sorry I came off rude about it, I didnt react the way I should've. |
