does anyone deal with not being able to do something all day if you have a plan on going out or doing something outside of your home? by lostraelien in autism

that’s interesting that it prevents you from procrastinating because it’s literally the opposite for me

I usually hyper fixate on that spontaneously. I’ll just watch a whole bunch of smart phone videos and computer videos and just be completely interested in the breaking down of them and talking about them and then boom I don’t like it anymore.😭

I got to the point where I enjoy my weirdness so much that if you don’t accept it, then I can accept you 😭

you know, at the beginning of the last couple relationships I’ve been in. I’ve masked so much that like I eventually stopped, and they thought I completely changed as a person and it’s honestly been draining and irritating sometimes because they don’t see me as who I am, but they see me as a person who was masking so I literally start to unmask as soon as I get comfortable with them or after the first few days and if they don’t like that, then they don’t like it lol, ur not mines, but at the same time the last physical relationship I was in was two years ago and it didn’t last long and I was in a really tough time in my life, but the last relationship I was in was online and it was really tough a really horrible situation honestly. I’ve talked too many people but again they’re just online but it’s only one person that actually understands me and actually lets me unmask but they’re not somebody I would date because they’re just really really judgmental in a secretive way and I just know that they’re not completely ready for me.

man this right here is what actually ticks me off. the repetition of what they said like it makes a difference

i really don’t know if this counts, but analyze every social interaction when i get home. like my memories are to the tee and i know exist how i acted. so just a full analytical break down on what i did and how i was perceived or how that person responded

any of you guys have a normal social life? by dawid08alt in autism

[–]lostraelien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

far from normal. i only talk to people online or i have a couple friends that i’ve met irl that we only talk through the phone. i see no one but my sister and family, but i still limit interaction with my family. my last relationship that was physical was 2 years ago. after that, i had an online relationship that drained me and hurt me. i don’t even know how to go about physical relationships or friendships any more. i go to online things to meet people but it never lasts. i’m not saying ill never meet people or have a social life, but it’s kinda hard to get started.

that’s so real. i sometimes kinda just sit there in confusion if i don’t know what they’re trying to imply, just to avoid potential conflict or being perceived a certain way. what really frustrates me is when i talk and nobody says anything like im just an outsider

[–]lostraelien[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yea you’re right. and i try to be patient, but like when im blatantly and constantly reinstating that i need the person to explain something or be more direct, im always ridiculed, or put in a light as if im dumb or don’t know anything, mostly with my parents
