Do you ever feel guilty because of your behaviour due to your autism? I'm not really thinking extreme behaviour, more the little things.
I'm asking this because the other day I saw my parents for the first time in a while. I spent the whole time I saw them waffling on about myself and things I wanted to talk about. Afterwards I realised that it hadn't occurred to me to ask them how they were or what they'd been doing. I felt a bit bad when I realised this. I don't want them to think I don't care. I feel quite selfish when this happens but its not because I don't care about them and their lives. It just never occurred to me to ask and I find conversations about other people hard to keep going.
Do other people have situations like this and then feel guilty?
I suppose one of the main benefits of never feeling guilty about anything is that there is never any need to apologise about anything.
Oh god no, I still apologise, a lot, lol, I might not indulge and bathe in feelings of guilt, but I’m still a total weirdo so I still manage to do things to upset or confuse people ~ but then again, I apologize to a lamp post if I bump into it so maybe I’m just a serial apologiser
So if you find yourself apologising to someone, is it usually because you've done something unintentionally?
Proper malt fuel yay.
I am entitled to my opinion. I choose not to push it in front of others, it may offend someone or cause distress, I therefore look back as to why this all started, I read carefully and base my decision to talk or up vote or down vote on what I make of the complete story, I rarely pick juicy little paragraphs to misrepresent whole passages that if given free open mind will enlighten or have no impact.
I saw all this gaining momentum.
I said nothing.
I watched as each person decided to be part of a group. One individual was singled out.
I say unfair, many against one.
If anyone is offended by my comments then they can tell me openly or by pm. That’s fine, I won’t just roll over however, I will take time to see how my words may have caused offence, then give my understanding and mine alone on how I reply.
if a large group comes knocking I would defend myself, if they decided I had to be taught a lesson I would fight until I became as bad as they were in order to defend myself. Equal nasty ness if you like, they hurt me I hurt back, in equal not more hurt.
It has been a lovely day out today, I didn’t miss the forum once, I popped in hoping to see calm quite peaceful beings working together to help support and show understanding of each other.
Ah well, take my friend, x()x
