Being a joke ruiner :(

Does anyone else ever feel like you're ruining your friends' jokes? I mean, to be honest, a lot of the casual internet humor is shit we shouldn't even be joking about... (SA, autism, suicide, etc.) but it's so casual to some people that they don't even think about what they're ACTUALLY saying. I feel like they don't even mean anything bad by it, so it feels like you're being even more annoying when you have to tell them they probably shouldn't joke about that. I always feel like the 'That one friend that's too woke' meme because we've removed these terms so far from their actual meanings that it holds no meaning to others. You just feel like you've ruined everyone else's fun, even though they're joking about things that aren't really funny at all :/ Even if they aren't joking about it, these terms are used so casually, it's almost kinda sickening... "I just got touched inappropriately!" Okay well it's funny until you actually were, and then you have to live with the trauma of that. "Omg we have a math test? I'm gonna kms." But do you know how it feels to legitimately consider resorting to that? How it feels to lose someone because they actually committed? "A strong interest in a topic? You know what that's a sign of..." Autism? You mean the thing I actively struggle with every day that makes people's lives worse? You're watering it down to a strong interest? It sucks so fucking hard when people say these things without thinking and you sound like an insane, overthinking bitch who hates fun just because you happen to be an autistic COCSA victim who lost his father to suicide (ME). sigh.
