I feel like I’m generally failing at life right now. I’m starting to wonder if I’m undiagnosed autistic.
These are the types of things I have trouble with:
Hyper fixations to the MAX. I need an escape from the stress of life, so I’ll hyper fixate. But at the same time the hyper fixation itself can become stressful. I. Can. Not. Stop. I’ve always been this way, but right now it’s really bad.
Staying up way too late, as a result of hyper fixation. Night after night. I’m often late for work as a result.
Putting off responsibilities, still feeling like a kid at 35. Feeling generally overwhelmed by it all.
Poor social skills, very shy, I’m particularly bad when socialising in large groups.
Trouble focusing on anything I find boring.
My mind wanders so easily, when I’m in a group with people talking my brain often kind of “checks out”. Doing this isn’t a conscious decision.
Mayor difficulty putting my feelings into words. I’ve never gotten therapy because I don’t think I’d be able to express myself.
I’m not sure what the point of this post is, I know no one here can diagnose me. But does this sound like autistic traits?
