Yet another accusation of being a troll.
Why do people always just assume I'm trying to be an a***hole? Why is that a given? Don't people consider any other explanation for where my posts could be coming from? I never mean anything here nastily. Ever. I may outright disagree, but I hope I try to keep my responses respectful. I may ask taboo questions, but that's because I want insight into the issue. When I reply, I want to discuss, or am offering some insight that might be useful to the questions others have asked.
And yet repeatedly, people read all this nasty, machiavellian, personally attacking judgements into my posts that aren't there. I mean things innocently, because often, I just don't know.
Apparently I don't have enough social graces or emotional intelligence to function adequately even on an internet forum meant for autistic people. This does not bode well for how I am capable of functioning in the real world.
That's what sucks about developmental delays - when it was age appropriate for the fact that other people dislike me to be bothering me, I was too far behind to notice or care. Now I'm supposed to be old enough to be beyond caring if anyone likes me or not, and it starts bothering me. At least, it does today.
/Rant.
I can relate 100%. For some reason i have to explain myself every single time when an issue is being brought up, even though the awareness that i am on the spectrum and i therefore will certainly make some mistakes is there. Whenever i make a mistake, though, may it be wording a question oddly or just making a statement that is not being understood, i am being yelled at or ridiculed into desperation. Of course i want to purposely hurt other people rather than make a statement that totally displays my view. And yes, i also want to tell other people that they're acting stupidly by asking them a question i simply don't know the answer to. Isn't this why questions are being asked? Why is everyone trying to find subliminal messages in the things i have said? Are they that insecure that they cannot even distinguish between a legitimate question and a an intentional attack? If i were to tell someone that i am not happy, i would tell them that i am in fact NOT HAPPY.
Sorry, sore spot
