Never Feeling Truly Content

SJH1994

So am quite new here, and made my introductory post the other day.

Is it a typical autistic trait to never feel completely content, I feel this way pretty much everyday, and there is always something in the back of my head either frustrating me, irritating me or just generally upsetting or worrying me, I admit that some days can be worse than others, and when it gets very bad it can lead to meltdowns, other days it can be quite distant and doesn't affect me too badly, but there is never a time when its not there. It usually leads to mental exhaustion while I'm at work, and I always have to take a little while to sit away somewhere and give my head a rest to rebuild energy-fortunately I'm in the position at work where I am left to my own devices so can do this If I want too. 

I was wondering if this is a common trait of Autism, and if anyone experiences the same or similar?

  • Feel the same way. Even on good days things still get to me. Something in my head is telling me I’m not good enough and everyone judges me.

    The reality is that nobody is, and my friends and family think positive of me. And they get annoyed when I tell them people are judging me. Cause they know it’s not true.

    Yes, I usually get told the same by family too, one of the things I'm also often told regarding being judged is that other people aren't thinking about me anything like as much as I think they are, and that end of the day everyone is only really  interested in there own lives, I think that may be a thought process that separates NTs from non NTs
