    I could do a few small talks before I’m socially exhausted, so maybe if i pull the lever about halfway through?

      My autism isn’t going away. Professional help resulted in the advice of: “Take time off from people when your social batteries are depleted, because otherwise you burn out and fall into a depression (that was the constant circle I was in until I got my diagnosis and started to accept what I can and can’t do).”

      There is no solution that doesn’t deplete my social batteries, while neurotypical people load their batteries when being in contact with other people mine do not and never will. I still see friends and have conversations with a lot of people, I need that I am not a hermit but carefully planned and spread out and if possible online and not in person because that makes it less straining.

      I would have to pull the lever late to save only the last 10 people, sorry for the others. /s

    See, this is where you need a super hero persona; all masked super heroes are confirmed socially awkward!

      I rather tie my self up and pick a spot than get stuck interacting with a stranger for 5 seconds.

      Well murder risks further interaction with cops, the legal system, lawyers… Can I just stare at the stranger for 5 seconds? I could probably manage a smile.

      Wait, you’re a stranger! Look ma I did it!

    But maybe you wont stop it in time for some of them, so then the families of those few in the front that died will forever hate you for not stopping it slightly sooner.

    I like to think I’m an introverts extravert. Most of my friends are introverts and they seem to like having me around, especially in busy social settings since I can act as a barrier to help manage the mayhem. I will gladly offer my services to the introvert who pulls the lever.
