help on accidentally using the wrong tone and upsetting people?

NAS66941

so like with the whole lockdown going on ive been a lot more stressed

this has led to me doing this thing a lot more where i accidentally use the wrong tone when speaking and come across as angry or annoyed and this upsets the other person bc they havent done anything and then im upset and its this big cycle

what makes it worse is when i feel myself getting worn out i try and purposefully sound more chipper but apparently i just sound even more sarcastic/annoyed!

if anyone else goes through similar things and has some advice id much appreciate it!

  • it happens to me all the time. And NT tend to speak to me even more angry or annoyed... i try to explain but they turn their backs on me. Until people are educated about ASD we will have a lonely time. Always misunderstood . Sometimes i wish i ware a t shirt saying "I am autistic" so that people could understand that my wrong tone doesn't mean arrogance.
