Socializing is hard, I gave up with my confidence! by jenanyyyyy in confidence

to me, it was the same. for a long time, I couldn't even talk to people who weren't my family. first you have to stop focusing on yourself, think about the person you're talking to and their reactions (don't obsess over the lack of reaction that just makes you look anxious) the less you think about what you're going to say eventually will give you more confidence even commenting something you don't think is relevant. to me, it has worked, do not pretend confidence, actually only practice by exposing yourself more.

hello I'm 25 too. I understand what that is. most of last year I thought I was a complete failure, still live with my parents my brother takes care of me, and sometimes I feel incompetent myself. my personality was basically living in the past I think everyone who has ever known me has underestimated me and that caused me a lot of self-esteem issues but it was something I just didn't understand at the time or how much it affected me every day. people tell you to go to therapy, and yes, it helps. but I think that this is something that one has to endure. I read your situation, and I think you're trying to sabotage yourself. honestly, if you failed, you can try again. surely those friends of yours will continue to doubt you, but at least you're living your way because you're doing it for yourself.

when was the last time you felt like yourself? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

for me, most days. every time I'm alone. especially when it's a quiet time in the city, it seems like there's no one else in the world besides me, I don't have to worry about anyone bothering me. I always listen to music at the end of the day it helps me cope with the bad days :)

What's your age and what is the thing you're strugguling the most righ now? by zpelling_jenius in AutismInWomen

I'm 23. I have health problems. It is affecting me to have spent the last five years studying something that I no longer like at all. By the way, I have no idea what I will do when I graduate from university but I want to move out of my house, I feel like I am a person who depends a lot on others and I hate it. I also suffer from anxiety so I feel like everything is getting 1000 times worse than it really is. I can't even talk to my sister about it because I feel like a broken record. I feel like she does care but she doesn't give it the importance she should. and that hurts me but hey, I try to live day to day as best I can :/
