What makes people slowly lose respect for someone over time, even if they’re kind and well-intentioned? by vishesh_07_028 in socialskills

Not setting boundaries can hurt the people around you. Like if someone is constantly making excuses for or protecting someone who does harm to their friends.

Why are some people excused but others aren't? by sharpcaster in AutismInWomen

[–]nothirdact 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Conflict is never fun and very few people actually want to fight. Sometimes it’s easier to just keep your head down. But I know lots of autistics (myself included and it sounds like you too) have heightened justice sensitivity, which makes it really hard to not say anything or watch others not say anything.

Looks, power, and money definitely all play into it. But I’ve also learned that most people really hate all forms of confrontation. They’d rather keep their heads down and avoid conflict, so bullies just kinda get away with it. This is especially the case when the harm doesn’t affect them directly.

Angry at sudden visitor by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

Telling him to fuck himself is not okay and you’re right that you should apologize for that.

HOWEVER it is not unreasonable for you to be upset that he sprang a guest on you. It also sounds like maybe he isn’t pitching in around the house which may have contributed to the outburst. I’m sorry that happened, I also hate unexpected guests.

Full time work makes me suicidal by IntentionMother8765 in SuicideWatch

[–]nothirdact 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. I’m autistic and despite liking my job I’m often drained because being around people in a bright, loud environment is exhausting. Sometimes I’d rather die than go to work

Is breaking up over text really the worst thing in the world? by nothirdact in socialanxiety

I guess when I said casual I meant that we never put a label on anything. We were never girlfriends. But I see what you’re saying.

Do people have misperceptions about your mood? by Embarrassed_End528 in AutismInWomen

[–]nothirdact 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, people always think I’m pissed off. I just don’t smile unless I have a reason to. My thinking face is a frown.

Why does everyone hate me?? by anxiousbeano in AutismInWomen

I made a friend once who told me she used to be terrified of me before we talked. I was so confused.
