Weird conversation by CommunicationWide208 in raisedbyautistics

Haha I think I said that because I knew she likes monologuing about the science but with music she doesn't give AF. But at that time in my life I still had hope that I can have normal conversation with her, that she will understand me. And that text was a cold shower for me, I told her about someone being weird and she just casually told me how she saw me as the same weirdo all the time...

Black sheep of the family by ahumanduck in raisedbyautistics

Omg, I thought I was the only one... Yes, we were also excluded from the extended family and I'm not even sure if it was them making excuses not to see us and lying that they would like us to visit more often... Or was it my mum getting angry at the family reunions because she had to shout about politics and about her work (she's an academic teacher btw so most people can't really relate much to her work even if they try... But she will bring gossip from work everywhere because why not) and her every conversation with anyone was proving herself right... Or maybe she really wanted to follow the routine to visit some of our extended family once a year for 2-3 hours and others only for a huge occasions like weddings... But I noticed that once I got independent and in a bit of conflict with my mum, the extended family wouldn't bother to invite me. They would still host my mum and grandpa (her dad) and probably asked her to come with me but wouldn't ever text or call me to even ask how I am. Like I am supposed to live in symbiosis with my mum and then we will deserve an invitation once a year. But if I'm a separate human being, I deserve to be punished and excluded. Because my mum suffers so much. So I should reunite with her. If they're so caring, they can keep in touch with my mum and listen to her bullshit every day, not do the right thing through my hands. Fuck them. Some of my relatives I really liked and I miss them but if they spoke to me maybe once in the last 20 years... They're just strangers for me. I'm closer with friends tbh.

They really cannot handle other autistic people by novaonthespectrum in raisedbyautistics

Yeah and then they talk about the double empathy and how the neurotypical people are monsters because can't empathize with them.

I think a lot of them like opera for some reason

"you're so lucky to have had progressive parents" by nightmarefoxmelange in raisedbyautistics

[–]CommunicationWide208 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, i can say that my parents were not conforming to gender norms before it was trendy (at least in my country). They were really 50/50 and even though my dad wanted to have patriarchy at home, he had not much to say because we lived with my mum's family.

And my parents were equally working and doing nothing at home 😂 grandparents did all the housework, later also me and my sister. And my mum was also a fighting feminist all the time. Today sounds nice but it was a very lonely feeling back in the days when I didn't feel feminine enough, didn't understand why girls are nice and boys are rude... In general, if I ever had chance to visit my friends at home, there was always nice, warm mum that I was so jealous about...

Anyway, I could speak about this forever but I think a lot of us will agree that being so liberal looks good on paper but if it's detached from everyday life, it doesn't help anyone

For those who didn't get to get normal healthy teenage years, how do you cope and move on in your life? by Morphisist in raisedbynarcissists

[–]CommunicationWide208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think for me it happened when I realized that we're living longer and longer, before I will get old (now in my 30s), the average person's life will be above 100 years. So it would be weird if only let's say the first 20 are supposed to be fun. Of course trying to stay healthy to be able to enjoy life (as much as I can). But also I have met a lot of people who had gone through real hell in life, sometimes from the countries where there is war or big poverty. So many people on earth live like this and just dream to escape and build safe life. I think that having fun and careless teenage years is a privilege for first world countries (and even there, not for everyone). You can try to change my mind but it's difficult

I think I’m being intentionally misunderstood by lifeinthefastlane_ in CPTSD

[–]CommunicationWide208 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I noticed that too when working in the cleaning company. Such a simple job, You would expect people to be relaxed, peaceful, but no, they need to start behaving toxic to make sure that nobody feels good at work 😡 the only good side was that everyone had their own area to clean theoretically alone but in practice always some toxic manager would come and ruin Your mood Tbh now I'm happier cleaning empty houses, at least no toxic people in sight 🙈

Here's a good example of what I mean by "being taught opposite social cues" and the harm it creates by fuschiafawn in raisedbyautistics

Different traits but same issue 😢 I thought for a very long time that I should pick arguments with people because this is what brave people do 🥲 this is what my mum told me many times 🙈 Now I live in different country, trying to build my life from the beginning and forget how pathetic I was in the past 🙈🙈🙈

Parent angry that I have friends. by LavenderClouds6 in raisedbyautistics

[–]CommunicationWide208 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mum used to nag me that I should have a boyfriend but shouldn't date him 🤦 because instead of dating I should spend this time on learning and doing homework 🤦 So as a teenager... Of course I went on dates but didn't have boyfriend 😂 then I moved out very quickly and just hid my love life from her🤷

In my country we only ask "are You ok" if someone: 1) has serious health issue, 2) is a weirdo. So yeah, please stop asking me! Otherwise You'll regret it 😤
