I don't know how to act anymore

Post Reply New Topic

People get annoyed with my behaviour.
Usually I say trying to act normal is lying to yourself and others but the people around with the most seem to find me so irritating I can't help think that they hate me.
It's weird. I don't know what I'm supposed to do around these people.
Should I just ignore them and remain the same?
Or should I try to be what they want?

Can't believe I'm asking this. I always say play up the autism. I just don't feel loved anymore.

It seems everything I says gets me yelled at.
I can't talk about any medical problem I have without getting called a hypochondriac.
Yet I still try to talk to these people.
These are people I can't get away from, family members, etc.

Ever since I have been laid off I find I sleep better, feel more comfortable, and have little to no meltdowns and its all due to being away from people. I am actually considering going on disability inorder to stay sane by staying away from people.

I have family members who seem pretty supportive, yet they still seem to act annoyed or frustrated by my behaviour. I try to ignore it, but it is very hard sometimes. I still say remain the same as you are. Living your entire life changing your behaviour to satisfy others will only hurt you.

Thanks guys. I think I'm just stressed out. Or hormonal.
I'm going to stay me, hated or not hated.

The thing is there are two kinds of thinking about what is going on here... it seems to me. There is OUR own personal story. And we all spend a whole lot of time going over that in our brains. Explaining it. Rewriting it. Organizing it. And there is what's going on in the world, and other people's stories. EVERYONE loves other people who can listen to other people's stories and give insight and encouragement. Just like Temple knew and could get into cow's brains, if you can get into the minds of those around you, rather than trying to get them into your story, then EVERYTHING will change in your world.

Thinking deeply about other people's needs is love. But wanting others to think about your story... and then they don't... that's a bad place to be.

Having problems is a maximum turnoff for most people. Ever hear the ancient blues song called Nobody Knows You When You Are Down And Out? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy85lAKL ... r_embedded or just the other day in the news there was the story that when women cry, it is a total buzz kill for men.

Back when people rode horses to school, and I was a lad and attended my first college course in painting, I couldn't help but notice (and rejoice!) in the graffiti that was written high up the studio wall (the writer must have had wings!), "fake it til you make it."

I gave up years ago trying to please
everyone.

Too hard. Cant be done.

If peple don't like me I don't
want anything to do with them.

Yeah I feel uncomfortable with the phrase 'fake it til you make it.'

Turns out my whole stress was due to a seizure. Now it's over I still feel pissed off but not in such an out of control way.
The person I was angry at doesn't think I'm having seizures too.

I would stay away from those people. There have been things I have given up on because I think "why do I even bother?" I don't even try and impress people and I figure people will just accept me the way I am and if they don't like something about me, their loss. I just ignore people around me. I find it easier to not even try and have friends. I am more happier.

I think people have to be themselves, sometimes even at the risk of irritating their fellow humans, rather than to put up a false front, and to bring upon their own aggravation.
