I strongly insist that you seek out therapy, because I don't think any normal "strong" person will consider killing themselves over something that can be easily managed instead of lying to yourself and others around you.
Everyone lies to an extent. Do you think rich people got rich by being honest?
Yes, but I am not talking about rich people lying. I am talking about how you feel the extreme need to lie or kill yourself.
It was an example. I will not accept my autism. I do not want anyone to know I have it. I do not want support. I have two choices, succeed at life by NT passing. Or die.
When it comes to employment you may have to fake and lie some, like capitalism sucks and that is the way the game is played. But do you really want your personal life to be a lie to? Like wouldn't you rather be able to de-stress when you come home rather than also having to put on some act for your partner....and just never have the chance to be yourself even at home?
It would be better to accept the autism, and just learn and do research on social interaction to improve in that area. Or dare I say fake your way through some situations, but you can't really fake NT behavior if you don't understand it...
yeah, that's the thing. You can learn how to mimic but when you cannot understand it that's where you fail. There are so many subtle things in social interaction that it's impossible to keep up the mask and be able to be successful every single time. Even NTs struggle with it.
