rejection

Hi does anyone else here in the spectrum experience strong emotions towards rejection? It’s so hard for me to get over break ups and not fixate on comments which hurt my feelings. How common is this in autism?

  • Omg same!! When I’m prepared to stop speaking to someone I find it very easy and don’t get upset afterwards. However when someone decides to reject me it bothers me a lot and a lot words repeat in my mind about why they don’t like me. I think this has to do with the fact that I know I am different and always feel alone hence leaving someone and being left are two different things and come with different emotions and feelings.  I didn’t notice this pattern til now wow !! (Thank you guys)
