I struggle with...

Jaeth

I struggle with a lot of things, how do I know which one are because of Asperger, and which are not ?

I struggle with :

- Smiling ( People says i don't smile a lot, even if i feel like i'm smiling when i laugh, also i have a weird smile )

- Having authority ( I have trouble being authoritarian in my job, i always fear of what would happen if I had to shout and nobody reacted )

- Situational awareness ( I don't notice most of my environnement, I've been training it but it's just SO hard... )

What do you think ? Do you have ways to improve that ?

  • Smiling: can relate to this. People also say I'm not smiley and it has attracted a lot of negative attention in the past. It's not that I'm bad-tempered at all, just that I somehow find a lot of smiling extra work. And yes, I find smiling a bit awkward to some extent too. I feel like I'm flirting with people (especially women) if I smile too much.

    Authority: I hate asserting myself. And conversely, I fear high authority in others.

    Environment: Oblivious to this to a certain extent, have to make extra efforts to take it in.

    You are not alone!
