    Struggling staying at work

    Yeah I listen to music on headphones and it helps a lot. :)

    How do I confront people?

    I know the difference between teasing and being mean, guys. That's not really my question. My question is that they're making me feel uncomfortable, and I don't know how to tell them.

    How do I confront people?

    I know the difference, and unfortunately they were being mean. That and it doesn't matter if it's banter. What matters is that it makes me feel uncomfortable. I don't know how to tell them that, though, and that's more so my question. I didn't really make the post to be explained my own autism. :/

    How do I confront people?

    My friends keep being mean to me about my girlfriend, and I don't know how to tell them to stop. Because of this, I stopped hanging out with them, but now I am lonely. I hang out with my girlfriend, but I would like friends outside of that. How do I talk to them about this? Whenever I want to...

    Did I make a new friend? Feeling clueless

    text them and see. Sometimes men do just want to make friends. Saying men only want hookups is extremely offensive and ties into rape culture. Say hi...and how they are doing. Establish you want to be friends early in order to stop confusion.

    Does anyone else have overloads of this nature?

    I just have constant meltdowns. Like, on a daily basis. I try my hardest to try and manage it, but I don't know how. It's awful.

    Can I trust him?

    I think it's up to you. Play it by ear. If you feel like they're moving too fast, ask them to slow down. Then take it from there. :)

    Am I losing her

    I feel like you may just need to confront her about the way she is acting. Ask why she is being the way she is being. Be upfront. Say "I don't know why you've been shooting down all my offers to hang out". You may find out she just doesn't like you very much anymore, which is sad. But, you...

    I feel like I am losing her

    My girlfriend and I have been dating for about 2 years, and I love her dearly. At first we were very close--spending almost every second together, and we still kind of do. But lately we've been growing a part. There's a lot of reasons why, but I have a lot of trouble. First, I have said a lot...

    Virgin Shaming

    I really hate virgin shaming. People should have sex when they want to have sex. Virgin shaming teeters into rape culture pretty bad. Please don't do this, people.

    How can you stand it?

    To me I always just feel overstimulated. All the time. It never stops. I can't seem to figure out what my over stimulation points are.

    How do you deal with trauma?

    I say therapy and trauma therapy. I am trying EDMR soon which I hear good things about. Granted, I am nervous about it, but maybe it would be helpful?

    Trying so hard to understand, but struggling.

    I feel like you just need to move on. You really shouldn't be in a relationship with someone you dislike. That's what I did with my first wife, and I regret it everyday of my life. Trust me...move on. They're just not worth it.

    So glad I found this place.

    My girlfriend is on here all the time for the same reason. She is NT, but she just finds most NT sites to be very self absorbed. She was the one who recommended me over here. Glad you like the forum like I am :)

    The rudeness of others

    I feel like a lot of people are just very uneducated. They don't really understand ASD, so they judge you. It's a shame.
