    What Society Says About Being Alone

    I do enjoy it, I know it sounds weird. But it's happened for so long I don't really think about it.

    What Society Says About Being Alone

    Yeah, brain plays tricks. To me, I think it's kind of like my mind filling in some gaps where things have been left out or misinterpreting things. I do have tinnitus but not when it first started. And yes, it sounds a little like radio stations in the distance. I actually like it, never...

    What Society Says About Being Alone

    Since I was a wee one I've heard music in the background of things from time to time. Not hallucinations, but the soft, vague but distinct sound of music when it's not there, and it kind of rests and moves around in the background. I don't have any other thing similar where I see or hear...

    Lack of eye contact in public

    Same thing: tend to stare straight into people's faces without blinking ---- just like I get hyperfocused on other things. A few times people commented it made them uncomfortable.

    What Society Says About Being Alone

    I call it sound spaghetti, because it's like after the first sentence or so the words all get squished up and I can't tell pne word from the next. It can be sooooo embarrassing, and as a young person people treated me like I was slow, but I just couldn't tell what people were saying and the...

    What Society Says About Being Alone

    Yeah, the whole thing about parents who try to force their kids into friendships....on 3 occasions as a teen, because my mother wanted me to make friends, she threw giant parties for my birthday even though I did not want them! She just harped and harped on how much I needed to make friends...

    What Society Says About Being Alone

    I thrive on solitude as well, but spent much of my life thinking there was something wrong with me for it--I mean, normal people LIKE and ENJOY and THRIVE from being around other people, right?. Even introverted ones. But I find the whole process terribly confusing (much easier remote). But I...

    What Society Says About Being Alone

    Interesting how so many people say going against the impulse for solitude when solitude is desired can affect people's health.

    What Society Says About Being Alone

    That is a really good question: I think that if someone else was doing my interest with me it would feel pretty invasive, even if they were equally passionate about it. Crux of it is that being around other people, even when I know them very well, is never relaxing and what I love about my stim...

    What Society Says About Being Alone

    Seems like a common experience for those of us who didn't know until later that we were autistic to accumulate at times ridiculous diagnoses in the service of "helping" autistic people. And people universally seem to say it effects our health first to not know that we are autistic, then to be...

    What Society Says About Being Alone

    I came acrost this essay about autism and mental illness, saying that as a form of neurodivergence, mental illness when it comes to autistic people is adaptive. Also So many of us who didn't learn early about being autistic have tendencies to accumulate diagnoses, as people constantly see...

    What Society Says About Being Alone

    I don't really know about other cultures, but in the culture I grew up in (upper middle class US southerner) it is considered wrong or even deviant for people to like and pursue being alone and people are often judged by the company they keep or don't keep. There can be a mentality that...
