I was watching a YouTube video of a history documentary about Victorian schools, and someone wrote a comment saying "with my ADHD and anger issues I wouldn't have survived the Victorian times at school", and there was a load of comments by other people with ADHD or anxiety or whatever saying the same sort of thing. So I added a comment too, saying relatively the same as what the others were saying, but some jerk just picked on me (my username was in their comment) telling me that my ADHD and anxiety disorder are imaginary and that I had paid someone to diagnose me to have an excuse for my bad behaviour and some other snarky sarcastic remark.
I got angry so I deleted my original comment and reported the jerk for bullying, because nobody gets away with f*****g with me.
But the point of this thread is this: why did this jerk pick on ME and not anyone else in the comments even though they commented about having ADHD too? My username is just a bunch of letters and numbers, I don't have a profile picture, so nothing about my profile or style of writing makes me look weak enough to be singled out. It's spooky. How do they know to pick on me and not anyone else? Why me?
It's happened before on YouTube, on a completely different video. I agreed to other comments about something and a different jerk came along and ONLY picked on me. It's like social rejection in real life, but nobody can know that I'm a socially weak Aspie to pick on by a YouTube comment, yes I know people on WP believe NTs have these super brains that can know everything about a total stranger but really, knowing someone just by a vague username and a sentence in a YouTube comment does not scream out autism unless you specifically say so. I know I said ADHD but so did the other comments and they didn't get called out on it.
By the way I don't have a YouTube channel and I've never made a video, so nobody on YouTube knows me at all from anywhere, even a professional psychic who specialises in autism would not know who I am just by a YouTube comment.
