A woman’s cryptically narky Instagram story has set off every neurodivergent person in the world’s rejection sensitive dysphoria, the government has confirmed. 

Becky Armitage, 42, posted the following mysterious rant to the social media platform: “Some people are seriously self-absorbed. Get over yourselves #Toxic.”

University acquaintance, Paige Thomas, 41, said: “Oh God, is that about me? I mean, I haven’t spoken to Becky directly in nearly 20 years. But I do tend to make things about myself.”

“Shit, I’m doing it right now. I’d better apologise.”

Former work colleague, Jack Harrington, 34, said: “Toxic?? Me??! Fuck you, Becky.”

Harrington was last seen trying to gather other neurodivergent friends of Armitage to instigate a class-action lawsuit for causing undue emotional distress.
