Re: The recent addition of neurodiversity is bad

@ianhamilt0n , @PatrickClSim3Low , @DellaLuna48 , @ValFreya13 , I think that social anxiety and social awkwardness are 2 different things that can overlap.  Social anxiety comes from inside the person (but can be affected by things from outside a person) while social awkwardness is more like a judgment that others can have on a person (Such as a person who often thinks differently about something and voices their thoughts on that topic could be considered an odd person because of those thoughts , or a person might do certain actions that are considered odd by others.  This person will often not be received well by others (which can later lead to them developing social anxiety, but not necessarily).  You can be socially adept and have great social anxiety, but you can also be socially awkward but have little or no anxiety about it.  Most will fall somewhere in between. 

Many neurodivergent people have social anxiety because of repeated failed interactions, but some are just anxious about being social even if they are well received by others. Many Autistic people are very introverted, but there are some extraverted Autistic people as well. 

In the game, if there was a difference between the two, it would be something like If your Sim has social anxiety, then they would have an anxious moodlet before they even interact with others.  Social awkwardness, on the other hand would only have an embarrassed moodlet after the social interaction failed.
