    In the end this job still makes me feel good about myself so i will persevere for a little longer. When i am stuck at home with my parents it does not do good for my mental health

    I told my coworkers about the fight i had with my parents. They are not my close friends but i had no one else to talk to

    They understood and supported me. I felt better afterwards

    I am starting to feel furious and it is getting hard to suppress it.

    That is a good point. People often don't respect or accept our anger. I can relate to that a lot. Suppressing it, though, can lead to depression. I know you post about feeling depressed a lot.

    I am used to depression. Anger makes me feel worse than sadness or emptiness though. It feels endless when i feel angry

    I get that, too. It is really hard. It seems like that happens when we have no outlet, or don't let ourselves vent. That's my experience, anyway.

    Had another fight with my parents bc i got angry that they did not tell me about my moms surgery until the last moment. I felt like a coddled child and ashamed of myself
    AprilR
    I am crying right now. No matter what i do it is not enough for NTs. They will never see me as someone worthwhile.

    I eventually realized that I would have to voluntarily remove myself from the "normal" world because I would never be accepted there. I would rather be a hikikomori in the temple of Nature's God. At least there there is no petty judgment.

    I wish i could live as a hermit too but sometimes i get too depressed when i compare myself to others

    My mom got surgery and they told me at the last moment. I feel like a dumb invalid

    I feel so exhausted and worthless. I can't seem to do anything right. My uncle also told me i should have learned how to drive but i dont have good experience with driving.

    Thinking about my old friend who ghosted me makes me feel so bad. I never understood what happened but i felt undeserving of her. But at the same time, i never wanted to hurt her. It was my ugly nature that hurt her.

    Yes not feeling a closure of some kind really sucks. And there are people who expect you to be mind readers. If he made you feel bad about yourself its prob. best he is out of your life. For some people relationships come and go and it is easy to cut off people

    Yes- the whole "mind reader" aspect is what bothers me the most. If true, likely reflecting my brother assuming I think like him and can instantly perceive all those unwritten rules his mindset is accustomed to. Which implies to me that he really doesn't understand my autism at all.

    It is sad that even family does not know each other well sometimes. But just bc people misunderstand us it does not mean we did not do our best to get along with them.

    Me whenever i interact with people like my normie friend: actually this person needs therapy more than me

    The way some people do anything to keep other people in their life is mind boggling to me.

    The unhealthy and twisted relationships people get into. Like why? Why is being lonely such a bad thing?
    AprilR
    I am trying my best but i am tired all the time and everything is going wrong at work. I think i will have to quit.

    I did a burnout test and the result was "severe" So i dont think i am just lazy or spoiled
    AprilR
    I feel like i am the only high functioning autistic person in my country sometimes. People are" that" invisible and it is a very lonely existence

    I hate unmoderated forums that are full of trolls. I just had a reply on a local forum that made me question humanity in general. People can be so disgusting

    I don't want to work on a weekend and also don't want to go shopping. I just want to sleep and feel well rested

    I understand that. I wish we got more holiday pay, or legally couldn't work more than 4 days a week but got paid for the standard 5-6 day week lol

    I keep crying when people show that they like me. I really don't feel like i deserve it.

    From what I've seen of you, here, on the forum, I think you absolutely do deserve it! You are such a kind, warm person.

    We all as human beings deserve acceptance and kindness. When somebody appreciates you for who you are and likes you, accept it and enjoy the connection. I feel that in our lives we are atomized . . . little motes rarely interacting with each other that we should appreciate what connections we can have. After all, in this vast cosmos, all we have is each other.
