    I am dealing with rude woman better with rejection. I had two who were rude at yoga class. One slammed the door in my face and when I talked to the other one she completely ignored me. But I did not let it ruin my day and my mood is good as I focus on the yoga. I also like talking to the teacher who is super friendly after class.

    This can be said about anybody so it's not a jab, but some women really have a vendetta against men. I'm glad you're handling it well and not taking it personally.

    You have made great progress! With that attitude you may be making yourself more attractive to a serious, accepting, woman who appreciates people. I hope you run into one of those.

    A woman who knows me from church approached me at the park. Too bad that the guy who is lucky and clings to her also lives in my neighborhood. Probably her boyfriend by now.

    Literally clings to her? Like touching her?

    No but I always see them together. Even when she is by herself eventually he comes.

    He showed up about 10 minutes after talking to her.

    Do you have trouble with facial recognition? I do, so I hardly approach anybody first for that reason!

    I got so tired of introducing myself to people and then discovering I already know them that I no longer introduce myself. I just say 'hey'.

    I am bumbed my monthly membership from the Yoga studio is going up. The owner said because of rent. It's still way cheaper than if I paid for each class separately.

    You shouldn't focus on competitiveness or peacocking. Best not risk injury. Pushing yourself is good, but listen to your gut - enjoy the poses, playfully. Try and ease off the negative thinking if such thoughts pop into your head. And breath through it all - deeply.

    Thanks. I am told if I can't do the downward dog, I can just do a child pose.

    What matters is what you tell yourself. I'm sure you'll get there.

    Why are people with ASD ignored by others, even in a group?

    I actually like to be around NT people but only the nice ones. I agree I do find their topics to be boring. When they keep changing the subject is annoying as I am still on the last subject. Except here of course I don't mind talking with ASD.

    Can only speak for myself but I used to get ignored too until one day I realized it was because of the reasons you've stated.. staying on the last topic of discussion instead of moving with the flow of the conversation, and if you do it enough times (along with not listening and commenting on what others are saying which I would do) people will impulsively ignore you other times as well unfortunately.

    In a group, I often get ignored because I don’t have the will to fight to be heard.

    Another reason that I am ignored is because I make myself invisible, so that works out in my favor when I don’t actually want to be in the group.
    Tony Ramirez
    Life group was stressful today. There were over ten people there and whenever I tried to talk the dog will start barking and the doorbell would ring.

    Yet when the others talked on and on they were not inturruped until I tried to talk then I was inturruped.

    What is up with that?

    I've had this happen, too! I definitely think for me it's usually a self-fulfilling prophecy because I won't return to saying much after the interruption and assume everyone has tuned me out, which definitely doesn't help the issue.

    Sometimes, though, this really does happen to people. I've witnessed it from afar and it's like luck / magic just isn't on their side for the day. It's a weird phenomenon.

    My yoga teacher says I am the only student who went to every teacher.

    They are separate classes. One teacher might only teach in the morning. While other teacher only teach in the evening.

    Sure, you're the guy that shows up regularly and is putting his heart into it.

    Why do I keep freezing when I want to speak to a girl I find attractive?

    Just now there was one in yoga class that smiled at me but I just could not talk to her.

    It's easier if they are talking to someone I know and I join in.

    That may be easier, but may not get you noticed. I hope that you will have confidence that you are a worthwhile person who make a good companion for somebody who will take the time to know you. Are you enjoying the yoga? But you see, you are being noticed positively. Remind yourself of that.
    Tony Ramirez
    Why can't I break the cycle thinking all woman hate me when I know it's not true?

    Thanks for the support. I guess I feel like this when a woman ignores me. It's hard to distinguish if she is rude or not.

    Sometimes there's also the likelihood that their attention is elsewhere in their own mind. Where it may appear as being rude, but really is just one's attention elsewhere in real time. Something we can't see or detect so easily.

    That's what I think. Like they are preoccupied with something else.

    My cat Gray was not peeing, but we took him to the vet, and he had no blockage. He peed there. He must eat nothing but prescription food.

    Another private yoga class with my female teacher. Again no one else bothered to show up. Better for me because I am not distracted and I can focus on the poses.

    I was able to get one on one and my stretching is improving.

    I did not have to do the chair pose today. But tomorrow I will.

    My Yoga teachers are proud I am the only student who shows up several times while others are just one and done.

    I've also been in that situation numerous times. If I have an obligation of some sort, I'll be there, even if it's difficult.
    Tony Ramirez
    It's hard to make new friends when the same people you don't want to be friends with always show up. The ones you do want to be friends with rarely or only show up once never to show up again.

    I have been feeling heavier the past few days. I have not done yoga the past weekend, but I did it today. I am afraid to weigh myself.

    How about not weighing yourself for another day or two?

    And keep sneaking in some yoga moves, meanwhile.

    Will do. I went again tonight for yoga and although it was a flow class I sweat a bit.

    How do people talk to someone for over 10 minutes with no interruptions while I try to talk to someone and it lasts a minute or less and most of the time I am inturrupted?

    It's a combination of the fact that autism gives you a low social status and that's how people treat you when you are low social status. And then it may also be that autism makes you unable to understand when it's your turn to speak. So you talk when someone else is supposed to and then they interrupt you as a consequence.

    I feel so depressed tonight. I am trying not to let married people bother me but it's hard not to feel lonely and stay positive.

    Hang in there. With positive changes, I am learning, there are always ebbs and flows. Sometimes we can feel strong in our changes, but we are bound to have our usual troubles resurface.
