How do you guys cope with social media?

Hey all,

So - my situation in brief - I'm not diagnosed ASD but many people have asked me over the years if I am and about 6 months ago I was referred for an ASD assessment by a psychologist I was seeing for something else.

Regarding social media - I really suck at social media. I really feel the creative need to make content and try to get a regular posting thing going, but I always end up upsetting people, getting into arguments or else seemingly missing the point or realising I've made some terrible faux pas or unfunny thing - in hindsight. I find it hard to get followers on anything and I don't really understand what I'm supposed to use it for or what everyone else is doing on it (eg Twitter, Facebook). I tend to completely misread situations, tone, certain comments, sexually implied content and the reason for any of it.

 As with most things, I know if I can work out whats going on, I should be alright - it's just getting there. 

I'm interested in how anyone else copes with this?
