I feel like an alien

I just moved into new apartments and I have a neighbor who lives above me. Everytime I walk out my back door to take my dog out, she's on her patio and just starts talking to me.  I hate being autistic because I think she's trying to be nice, but It just startles and overwhelms the crap out of me. Now I just have an another reason to stay inside. I wish I could make friends "naturally" but it's feels forced and overwhelming. I wish I knew how to act like them

  • I would info damp on that neighbour everything about you being autistic and really bad with people, and can't do small talk, and see what happens,

    and if you have speech recognition issue as well than that as well, it's to far to balcony to have meaningful conversation

    I reckon that neighbour is just lonely, and using oportunity for a company, the way allistic do

    and some of them are nosy, the way alllistic do, there is usually at least one in an area like that

    that 'naturally' became a lot easier for me once I stopped trying, from the moment I stopped being interested in an outcome of random encounter,

    it helps if you have a phone in your hand, you can pretend to play a game and go back to it after 10sec silence
