What's Bothering You?

reading about other people's experiences dealing with people who don't understand autism or treat it as some kind of disease/debilitation, and thinking about experiences that I myself have had, just makes me so mad. like seriously why are people with autism seen as weird/childish/dumb?? maybe the neurotypical people are the ones that are weird.

(im not trying to insult anyone, I just wish people would stop being so ignorant about people with autism. it gets really annoying and frustrating to deal with.)

Yeah, I agree 110% as well and it honestly sickens me when people treat us that way. I’ll never understand nor pretend to understand why people do that. We’re just as human as anyone else, it’s just that we think and stuff a bit differently. I find it funny when someone might see me as childish though, because the reality is I’m actually a lot more mature than a lot of people my age. Sure we may have special interests and stuff, but so do other people. Anyway I better stop before I go off on a long tangent, lol.
 
i hate being a corporate slave
i want out someday

Aaaaaaaaaa this hits me right in the feels. I need to be looking for a new job but like, I don't want one. I don't want a job. I don't want to work. I want life to be more than just working :/ but a lot of people treat that like a childish opinion. I know that obviously I will need to find a new job because I need money for survival but that doesn't mean I have to like it.
 
i hate the idea that in the future everything i want to do will no longer be a thing (i.e. being a professional ballerina, it seems like ballet is already either becoming obsolete or not classical the way i like it anymore)

I meant to respond to this earlier, but I’m having a hard time waking up today. I don’t have autism, but I do have ADHD which is a neurodevelopmental condition and one that’s very misunderstood and stigmatized by the media. So I feel this on a deep level. I’m tired of being told I’m lazy and I need to just push myself and I’m so smart and I can accomplish anything, but I don’t apply myself enough. I was trying to explain to someone the other day that I can’t just pick a major because it pays well I need to pick something that holds my interest because it’ll make things 10x harder for me if I don’t and was mocked and treated like I was being childish. It’s disheartening 😔 It’s understandable that people have natural limitations on the way they perceive the world. It’s hard enough navigating through there own let alone someone else’s. However, understanding and acceptance are not mutually exclusive. The people who can’t stop and listen to someone else’s point of view and accept that there are people out there that are incapable of thinking the same way as them is just narrow minded.
 
Seeing everyone's animated shooting star or rainbow frag collectable is giving me serious jealousy vibes. I know this is an unreasonable feeling especially since I'm a grown ass adult so hopefully this petty envy passes asap lmao.

Also I came in dead last place for the Sleepover at Harvey polls with only 10 votes (one of those was me lmao). Feels bad y'all

I’m sorry :(; I am a bit jealous myself even though I am sincerely happy for all of the winners. I thought my design was good but only got a couple of likes (all of which I really appreciated)

I loved your design; it was seriously so clever and cute since Gaston has a terrible home and I loved seeing a good home remodel. I thought it stuck to the theme well too 😊. Gaston is a favorite and I love Claude too.

Don’t feel bad for feeling this way. It’s normal; we all feel that way from time to time. It hurts when you put a lot of thought and effort into something and not get as much likes or votes as you hoped. I also can tell that you’re a really nice person from reading your posts and that you’re not being petty :)

Sorry if none of what i say help. I just want you to know that there is nothing wrong with the way you feel and I am a huge fan of your designs and screenshots.

This is a minor worry: I just found out that it was noticeable how much I like people posts or ones I am tagged in. Now I am worried that I creeped out or annoyed everyone on the forums ><.

you’ve liked my posts quite a bit and it’s never creeped me out or annoyed me - if anything, it makes me feel seen in a way. i have a hard time participating in discussions and feel as if my input isn’t needed and so whenever someone likes my posts, it helps to ease those negative feelings, if that makes sense aha c’:

tldr; i honestly really appreciate you liking my posts and you’re not creepy or annoying at all :)

Thanks for sharing :). That makes sense. I know nothing bad was meant by anyone, but instantly an alarm bell went off in my head telling me that maybe not everyone likes it when their posts are liked so much. >< When I read people’s posts and see my name mentioned and appreciated the mention, or if I agree with them or like something they said, I use the like button. :)

Thanks for the reassurance; I appreciate it tremendously. :) I really enjoy reading your posts; you make a lot of good points and it’s wonderful how much you love certain villagers. ^.^

I’ve noticed, but no worries, it’s very nice of you to take the time to like so many posts. I appreciate them. Your fine don’t stress it.

brrrooooooooo sorry if i roused insecurity and doubt within you from pointing that out agh i feel bad now lol
keep on giving people thumbs up if it makes you happy honestly it's not creepy it's a pretty good way for people to know that someone has bothered to read their post.... can't tell you how many times i've made posts and wonder "is anyone going to read this and benefit from it?" lol
 
Despite English being my first and only language, English Composition at college likes to make me think that I don’t know how to speak properly. Fun.

No need to apologize; I didn’t mean to guilt trip you either ><. I’m the one that should apologize; I didn’t mean to make you feel bad. It’s okay, really :). It was actually nice of you to bring it to my attention on my wall. i have severe anxiety so even if you had not mentioned it, I still would’ve eventually worried about it. The whole possibility of creeping people out with my comments or likes have been at the edge of my mind for awhile.

Aww thank you for being sweet. I'm already feeling better about it, I just needed a moment haha. I'm glad you liked my design btw!

Also I don't mind you or anyone liking my posts. The notifications popping up makes it feel like the forum is more active somehow idk why. I only ever have a few notifications at a time so it buffs up the number haha

Thanks ^.^. I honestly thought that’s what the like button was for and didn’t think of it as weird to like every post that I liked or agreed with or appreciated it some sort of way.

I appreciate this tremendously. Jobs aren’t very accepting of anyone with even anxiety or at least I’m having very bad luck. :/ My psychiatrist seems to not take it seriously (he supposedly suspected i had asperger’s for awhile yet he never brought it up to my mom) or anxiety for all that matters (doesn’t want to help me get disability since he obviously doesn’t think anxiety is an impairment). We’ll eventually be looking for a different psychiatrist.
