Constantly talking about myself

Weazelbeast

Its getting alot of people mad at me right now. Im constantly on about having autism or not....lazy or not...not thinking like an adult. I cant seem to talk about anything else. Its getting me in a lot of trouble and getting people so they dont want to talk to me...or i talk about how people percieve things like mind visualising. It feels like i bypassed life so heavily i dont know whats what

  • May I ask how recent your diagnosis is? I've gone through 56 stumbling blind through the Spectrum. Once the eyes are opened, there is a mind blowing realisation a minute as you grow into your true self. It's normal and natural to want to talk and analyse and share that.

    It's a shame those around you aren't grasping just how major this is in terms of importance for you, they are just plodding on with their stuff. It's lack of understanding on their part as you need to go through and give voice to your understanding.

    There will be be people who want to listen and support you through this and others who tune out. Your next judgement call is how you deal with them; not talk about it and mask (I wouldn't) or not talk about it but unmask and wait for them to ask about the natural you.

    I'm so sorry you aren't meeting with better understanding. It's HUGE when our eyes open, huh?

    I was diagnosed 3 years ago. I spent life struggling and with no job due to anxieties etc. People say fine but trying to get my brain to understand is problematic

    Because it’s not fine, you’re feeling guilty because you know that.

    By your previous posts it’s extremely clear that you are unwilling to make small sustainable changes to improve your situation. 

    your expecting someone else to help you and do the difficult work for you. Sorry to be the a**hole again but not how the world works and having autism doesn’t excuse you from the same struggles as everyone else. The struggles are different because you have autism from the typical person but you have to overcome them like everyone else & sometimes the solution are silly stupid and different from the typical. 

    Most people are re assuring you because you are looking for sympathy, not solutions. their are thousands of people who will listen to you cry and do very little to help. 

    Some people have genuinely been re assuring you, trying to explain that it’s okay to take it slow and take additional time to get yourself together, but you should of being trying to make small changes instead of feeling sorry for yourself.
