Disclaimer: Yes I know this is cringe, mental masturbation and I'm boarderline creating a parasocial relationship with a user I don't even know

I feel like everyone viewed me like the "joker" in a way, I would do crazy stuff throughout my childhood and teenage years which in a way made me the talk the country. Even people across my country knew who I was (well everyone is connected). People thought I had girlfriends, I was high iq, I had something up my sleeve despite being fucked up etc. but the reality was I was just an average joe except for autism. But I had this persona where everyone thought I was something I wasn't. Even from my family there was this big expectation to do things, succeed, get relationships etc.

However despite acting super low inhbition and doing crazy stuff I was just a loser who was somewhat shy and giga autistic. I mean people likely knew that, but they took my "persona" too seriously. I am actually very sensitive and emotional at heart. Given my autism, executive dysfunction I eventually dropped out of school but I'm sure many people will remember me somewhat for the rest of their lives give the crazy things I did.

I relate to "Joker: Folie à Deux" (well I hardly even watched it jfl) because everyone believes the Joker persona, but really Athur Fleck is just a loner who has nothing going on for him. Nobody cares about him as a person, only his reputation and persona. He isn't high iq, nor social, nor entertaining, not even an average joe. Theres nothing "special" about him.

He basically never really goes 100% into the Joker persona, because he was never like that. He was just a loser. At the end someone whos actually like the Joker persona murders him.

I don't know if hes going to like me constantly making cringy threads about him (im sorry aaaah I won't tag because I'm being annoying) but Lain is basically made to be a neet. He has a high iq, high stress tolerance, is adventurous, gets stuff done etc. while I am just a loser who was forced into being a neet (well tbh we both likely were, but I'm a terrible neet-type) but he is the "real deal". People may hear stories about me (many people know who I am in my area) but I'm basically just a loser with nothing going on.

I'm nothing special really, just like Arthur Fleck. But there are special people in the world who are actually like that "persona" I created, but I'm not one of them.

Joker Shit a deux
As corporate as it is, its really relatable. Everyone had expectations for Arthur to be the "Joker" but hes just a normal guy. In real life people think I'm like Lain, when in reality I'm painfully average, just an autistic narccisist.

At the end hes murdered by someone who is actually like the Joker, just like how I encountered someone heres whos actually proactive and more "neety" and I realized that I'm a fraud and was just coping etc

Hes basically how I envisioned myself, but am not. I mean its subjective, to another person Lain is nothing special but he matches how I saw myself/persona.

Hes made me realize that I'm nothing special and am just a general loser in everything even at being a neet.
