Useless advice from NT's

Me: I had 2 girls laughing at me today in a shop.
Advise: Don't worry about them - they're not worth it. Just ignore them.
But when I have people laughing at me, I get all upset and take it to heart, because they wouldn't laugh at me if I was nothing to laugh about. So there must have been something odd about me to make them snigger and smirk.

Me: I feel I am getting used at my vollunteer job. The other day I got blamed for something I didn't even do, and I reckon they done that on purpose because they knew I can take any s**t.
Advise: You just have to stick to your guns and stand up for yourself.
But standing up for myself is a type of social interaction what I find the most hardest, as an individual. I know I will say the wrong thing, and people will either just laugh at me or think I've gone all huffy then there will be an atmosphere, making me feel REALLY awkward and upset. I can't cope with all that.

Me: I don't like people looking at me in the street.
Advise: Then don't look at them then.
But when I don't look at anyone, I then never see people I know, and I then end up walking straight past a person I know, and they might think I'm unfriendly, so I end up having to explain myself why I didn't see them as they passed. I then look stupid and blind. But I don't like looking up at people because I then catch their eye and they then stare at me. It's a vicious circle!
