I'd like to think so, but today at work, this lady told me I was really helpful and looked happy, but I wanted to tell her that i hate being here and i'm just being nice

Yes, which is weird because I'm an introvert that doesn't enjoy the company of people the majority of the time. 😀

Well, I'm a bit on the spectrum, but I guess I'm in the "late-diagnosed" segment, so I excel in daily life and work but when it comes to social settings, that's when the challenges and quirks really show up. And the neurotypicals usually are the first to clock my tea and suddenly treat me differently because I'm not aligned with them in terms of mindset, communication, etc.

 

But I enjoy bonding with fellow neurodivergents and try to be a good person in a world where everyone is out to get you and throw you under the bus anytime it's convenient for them.

not me just trauma dumping on atrl but anyways

No. I'm a flop. 

LMFAO

 

Bold of you to assume that I know people. 

Unfortunately, no.  

At work, I'm not sure if colleagues like me or if they are friendly because they have to.

Only ugly people dislike me and I've made peace with their appearances 

NO lol I'm very combative 

Of course! I'm the baddest ***** of all the lands after all...

Right now, more than I wish they did.

LEAVE ME TF ALONE, please?

Today I met one of my dearest friend's chosen family (3 gay guys) and she told me they liked me, but a horrible sadness came upon me and I couldn't enjoy our evening together; sometimes it's just difficult to conceive the fact that you might be likable and you're worthy of being loved 

Yes, despite my RBF

Can switch places? 

on ATRL no 

 

irl yes cuz I'm hot and a little bit himbo

 

Yes but that's because most people don't know the real me. 

sometimes... initially 

The majority of people I encounter for the first time generally do like me and more often than not end up asking for my IG, which is a good sign I guess. Like @?????? said, I also am a bit on the spectrum and I assume some neurotypicals can "clock my tea" (though I'm sure a lot of them think it's severe ADHD versus ASD), but I feel like it's easier being gay and on the spectrum than straight on the spectrum due to the stereotypes of the latter being creepy/weird/overtly nerdy.

I would like to think so. I try to be nice to people, sometimes I think everyone hates me and are just being fake polite to me but that's probably just my self esteem issues

yes…. someone recently described me as a "crowd pleaser" and "player's choice", which they meant as a way compliment how i'm generally well-liked.

 

but it also has me wondering if i've become one of those "stand for everything, you stand for nothing" type of ppl… idk 

I think so? I dont have much trouble connecting with new people but i dont like keeping in touch 

people ******* hate me
