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?

  • ive stopped using it full stop, always just made me feel even more isolated, just feels like people use it as a human zoo to "friend" they're exhibits and feel important, ive never got on well with it.

    its all very shallow and pretentious to me, loudest mouths get listened to, people only care about themselves stuff, i dunno, just not for me i suppose
