Are you well liked by neurotypicals?

Just out of curiosity, of course. I find myself being less liked by them as the years go on. Reasons include physical appearance (height, awkwardness), to social reasons such as being mute.

Hmm I don't know...I feel like I am constantly offending people, or like they are always mad at me, but when I tell others my theory (for example, my sister or my mom) they think that I am just being ridiculous. So it's hard to tell. I don't think I have a very good perception of what people think of me.

I'm not very well liked by them. That doesn't bother me, because I'm not interested in the NT world to begin with.

Online, yes. In the "real world", no

It's about 50/50 - I'm told I'm very well liked but then there are people who seem to take an instant and very nasty dislike to me without any obvious reason. My anxiety over socialising and paranoia over people not liking means that most of the time I focus on the people who dislike me, and so I'm unable to get close enough to people to really notice how much some of them like me...

It amazes me how well NT like me, I've approached my social interactions as an aspie obsession and at work I'm almost extroverted.

They don't like me and I don't like them.

Yes, very well liked, respected, feared, obeyed.*
My problem is: sometimes I don't believe it.
-which feels the same as not being liked and is remarkably pathetic.


*(which is weird when I let myself see/admit it. and not because of cash, because I'm a bit tight ATM)

I'm not well liked by anyone, not just NTs.

When I was a kid I found that older people really liked me for my politeness and erudite way of speaking. In high school, my classmates pretty much ignored me, and I could not stand the cliques, so I self-isolated anyway. Despite wanting to, I never figured out how to make friends in high school or university.

There are several people at school that I hated long before I was diagnosed, and I'm pretty sure they dislike me just as much. Most people probably don't give me that much thought, and I ignore them too.

Are you well liked by NT's ?


I have faith. I believe in the not too distant future; Non-Autistics are going to take this approach to Autistics(at first out of necessity).....hopefully, it will extend across society in general.


Stay the course....

With me it seems to be on both extreme ends of the spectrum. Some cannot stand me while others really appreciate my quirks and think really highly of me.

I generally don't have problems with anyone (anymore). I get along fine with people and feel like I am accepted. However, I know from a co-worker who is on the borderline of the spectrum (ADHD with enough aspie traits to score positive on an online test) that people do talk about me behind my back about my numerous quirks. It hurts to know that, but no one bothers me so I guess I can't complain. I don't get invited to social gatherings too often (almost never by co-workers) and can't tell if that has to do with the age gap between me and those I work with, my dislike of alcohol and partying, or if they genuinely just tolerate me and don't really like me.

they love me... i hate them
