There's nobody to talk to properly, connections never lead anywhere, is this what Autism is?

I have been wanting to say sorry just as soon as I read your post, but was worried I would just make things worse. In fact I know I risk doing that now because I know I am crap at understanding what other people are thinking and so good at upsetting people. I have made so many mistakes in my life with people and I'm so sorry that now I have added you to my long list of them.
I never meant to and I am so sorry.
You don't need to be sorry, It was my fault, was suffering with my foot particularly badly when I wrote this (I didn't yet know at that point I could put it up on a pillow to make it ease the pain) but I didn't mention that in the post so you wouldn't have known. I find it hard communicating clearly myself, I didn't put enough detail in the original post.
Yes. I do need to be sorry. I just have real trouble knowing how to say sorry. I have posted on your other thread about your foot and how you are feeling at the moment. I hope that is alright, but if you would prefer that I don't post on your threads, then just let me know and I won't post. I so desperately want to help, so it is mortifying to me when I make things worse.

People just look at me strangely. I don't really get feedback. I just tend to get treated differently.
You're sooo right about melodrama. I get accused of that every day - using violent and extreme words all the time. To me it's just natural, I don't mean to exaggerate. People say i talk like a kid.
Plectrum. My CBT brain would offer you all those techniques challenging negative self-talk from my years of therapy. My CAT brain can't help yet, because I'm not up to chapter 2 which is the bit that is meant to be the helping with pain in life. But what I feel is sorrow for what you are going through. And from what I am learning about ASD then that is a real feeling but what I have trouble with is expressing the thoughts of my emotions. So I think I sound melodramatic about my feelings. I don't mean to be and I think that it is a part of why my emotions could come across as being insincere. So I feel sad that you are embarrassed. I want to tell you that it is going to be okay. That you are going to be okay. That it will pass and you can fix it, if it needs fixing. IT can sometimes be a nightmare, I think. As a light example, My cousin WhatsApped me just today calling me sexy which he meant for his wife. So take care of yourself and be kind to yourself.
I made a terrible error today, so its embarrassing that my name is now , erm, up in lights, shall we say. I wrote a comment to someone that had a death in their family. I drafted my comment in notepad app then cut and pasted it but left out half. So the only part I pasted was some clumsy bla bla about friends , instead of offering sympathy. I went back and edited the comment hours later but now I feel like a cheat because a lot of people have already seen it. i feel like digging a hole and hiding in it for a week now.
