Does anyone else here get sick and tired of constant rejection

Does anyone else here experience constant social rejection? And does anyone have any useful adivce?

I've had to put up with it all my life and frankly I am sick of it.


Just a warning if you are going to ask me a ton of questions you better have some useful advice.

  • Start with a book called The Artists Way. The first thing one needs to learn is how to protect oneself from the onslaught that is society. NTs learn defence mechanisms which perhaps make them less intense, less vulnerable but also dull their senses. They learn in a sub-conscious collective way which autistics aren't really 'programmed' to receive (to use a computer analogy - say, we're all unique animal-bots, some of us structured to be more autistic and analytical, but the majority more 'tribal' to keep the herd together). 

    No one is programmed for rejection. While there is a LOT of miscommunication, a good deal of research on being a Healthy Human with good ethics and values can help bridge the gap. What's left can be re-evaluated by knowing what's Respectful and whats not.
