Whenever I’m being picked on, belittled or singled out or ganged up on, subtle or not, whenever I sense this happening, I don’t have a retort ready to use in the moment to escape the situation or shut it down. So if someone tries to make me the joke through teasing (but cruel and demeaning way to serve as their fun) or being sarcastic,I’m so on edge and rabbit in headlights and already feeling emotionally stripped bare and worthless, that I can’t compose myself and articulate a good answer or retort. Is this an aspergers thing? This is the one thing I hate about being on the spectrum. Being the joke and metaphorical black sheep has left me traumatised. I have been to therapy, nothing works. It’s how I was bullied at school and it’s how I am being bullied as an adult.
Has anyone figured out how to crack this particular code? Is it impossible for aspies?
