Set feelings

autismtwo

I seem not to have flexibility in feelings, if I am uncomfortable with some one,, the feeling which I have given too myself by there behaviour is stuck. So that means when I am around this person, this set emotion is switched on regardless, I have no flexibility to wait and see and react accordingly.... I try not to hate them or be afraid off them, but my autism psyche is pre-set...to reactive fear, distaste and hate

How can make my feelings more flexible towards a person I am reacting too with distaste, even though I do not wish too, it just happens.. it means they have control of my feelings .. D'oh ! I am trying to just relax about them, but it is hard, due to the tension within and the atmosphere of negative externally.

Any thoughts

  • Good honest reply scorpion, thank you

    "However, because we no longer live in the world which we evolved to live in, it malfunctions, and we often fear things we have no need to fear.".... this comment is eye opening,,, in my heart I would wholly agree that "we no longer live in the world which we evolved to live in".

    quote "Fear is not a lack of joy, if anything it is a lack of trust. A lack of joy is sadness",, technically true, but with joy, there is less sadness and less fear, more trust.

    quote"One needs to learn to recognise when our fears are well founded and when they are not.".. Yes that is my brainwiring issue with autism,, any suggestions how to do so ?
