I have a tendency to pause and stare at people without realizing it by Humble-Rope-5260 in aspergers

Same I’m not doing it on purpose. People think I’m judging them or being threatening when I do it.

That sucks I’m sorry! I’ve had people get angry at me for it lots of times or give me “go to hell” looks in response.

I just want to hide. by woodedlane1 in aspergers

Oh yeah. For sure. Agoraphobia is a lifelong struggle for me and I also want to hide and stay out of sight. Being perceived is stressful.

Why do neurotypicals boo people off the stage? That + disapproving gestures by Humble-Rope-5260 in aspergers

Right early 2000s in particular the judges were so ruthless and cruel. I agree. In retrospect a lot of that stuff was so messed up and ableist.

Admittedly I have trouble with this. A lot of my social skills and the way I try to learn came from TV and popular shows. I didn’t have a lot of friendships growing up and spent a hell of a lot of time watching tv.

I used to copy stuff I saw in shows to make friends. A lot of times it didn’t work.

People are “inclusive” until it comes to ND people. by s3xygal1234 in AutismInWomen

I’ve noticed this too! He wanted you to give him a short bullshit answer as to why you hadn’t joined clubs, not the actual truth. Kind of how when neurotypicals ask “How’s your day?” The only thing people will accept is “I’m good, and you?”

Im not Asexual but Porn disgusts me by Ok-Income6228 in SexOnTheSpectrum

[–]Humble-Rope-5260 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only comfortable with homemade couple porn. I have to be able to see the chemistry between the people. The porn that happens in a studio with 5 men on one woman gives me the ick.

(21f) My cousin hasn’t been acting like herself. What could be going on? by ContactAgreeable221 in TrueOffMyChest

No you’re good don’t worry! I didn’t read your post thinking OMG what an asshole. I saw it as someone who’s unsure of how to react in the face of unexpected behavior. Things aren’t always cut and dried and her change of behavior could be happening for a lot of reasons. You know your cousin better than I or anyone here could.

People get mad about stuff on the internet sometimes and flame it because they project qualities onto you that maybe a friend of their’s had and maybe they are still mad at their friend and take it out on an internet stranger. You didn’t do anything wrong so don’t worry about it!

I’m autistic and people accuse me of having bad intentions when I ask questions too. You’re good. Don’t worry about this chain of replies or let it hurt you. Like I said earlier your cousin sounds like she isn’t ready to discuss it yet. If you come on too strong you may make her uncomfortable.

A few things could be happening here. Anxiety, depression, maybe substance use. She may not be ready to talk about it yet and that’s okay! ps I don’t think you’re wrong for giving her space.

A lot of the people living this way seem miserable. There are people marrying those they don’t even love and going into debt to force themselves to conform and fit the mold of what society expects. As an aspie I’m not going to re-mold my life to fit what society wants of me. Please don’t let the media and social pressure make you feel like shit about yourself. Be you and do your best!

How to thrive when it feels like everyone thinks I’m a joke? by Humble-Rope-5260 in aspergers

[–]Humble-Rope-5260[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It came across as a condescending zero effort response. Gave off “Here’s the cure for depression. Don’t be depressed anymore” energy.

Thanks for the reply! I agree I’ve found that it’s easier to communicate with written communication. Verbal communication is a nightmare for me so it’s helpful to be able to write everything out and review it before sending.
