No matter how silly they say something sounds, or the date. I will automatically assume someone is being serious unless they say it’s a joke after saying it because if it isn’t a joke and I take it as a joke that could be harmful. I’ve been bedbound due to CFS for the last 7 years so I don’t have a good idea of what is normal and what is not anymore.
I’m not sure I’m understanding what you’re saying.
Are you saying you’re having trouble with dry & sarcastic humor or are you saying the events of the days we’re living in are so farcical that you’re having difficulty determining truth from fictional statements someone says to you?
