Hello everyone,
As an autsic adult does anyone relate when I say , I feel really comfortable by myself, like my own company but really struggle fitting in and I end up feeling abit isolated.
Does this feel the same for you ?
Yes i feel the same. I have learnt to accept it. People are irritating me, i cant deal with their constant talking. Someone asked me today, will i be wearing a christmas jumper? No, i said, i dont do things like that. I am going to be working on buildng a home for a family in a toy house that i inherited. Im 59 years old and finally doing what i want to do and letting people know with no embarrassment or shame. Today people were nosey. Is it just that i say what i mean and dont sugar coat it? I think im suffering with sensory overload at the moment. I am coming to the conclusion that most people are fake.
So right now, alone is good, at least better than false company.
The problem i experience with aloneness is the chattet in my head.....
Oh tulip, I resonate with how you feel so much. I'm 55 year old woman, of similar mind and opinion.
I am irritated by most people and their expectations, and it's laughable that we are seen as the weird ones.
I am 57 and NEVER really cared about what others think. I know social norms but I live life on my terms - always have. The older I get the more I just TELL people I am autistic. I laugh at their ignorance when they say, “OH! You don’t look autistic.” !!
