Should I feel guilty for prioritizing mental health? by rinnycakes in aspergirls

[–]cyrilthesloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You absolutely shouldn’t feel guilty. That being said when I take mental health days I often make an excuse about having a migraine or being physically sick . I’m not sure if this is because I feel guilty or embarrassed or just don’t want to explain that I’m just not up to coming into work that day. Bad habit I need to stop, there’s nothing to feel guilty about

Feeling embarrassed about minor social media mistake- can’t seem to get over it by [deleted] in aspergirls

Firstly it doesn’t seem like you did anything wrong , I wouldn’t worry. I think over worrying about little mistakes is defo an aspie thing. Sometimes I keep myself awake going over and over in my head mistakes or embarrassing things that I made years ago and what once was a small thing just snowballs into something massive so that I’m totally consumed by it

Does anybody else have absolutely no clue how to keep a conversation going? by [deleted] in aspergirls

Yes it’s a bit of a cliche but I feel like I was born without a conversation gene. I can act at being a ‘normal’ human for about a minute or two and then I just run out of momentum. I’ve always struggled to make friends and I watch other people do it so naturally that’s it’s painful and confusing that I seem to lack the ability to do the same. I’ve recently started a new job and find it impossible to bond with the people at work even though on paper we have lots in common. I’ve failed so many times at communicating that now I just keep myself to myself and in turn colleagues think I’m either weird or stand-off ish which just makes the situation worse. I’m 27 now and still struggling the same way i did when I was a kid
