I struggle with this every day as someone with autism. Especially working where I do because we have a lot of employees, but we usually work in groups of two. We have a lot of down time so we just talk about life and I feel like such a weirdo after. I find myself apologizing a lot if I feel I was too personal or reacted oddly to something. When I go home I cry to my boyfriend about it and ruminate on the interaction forever. Here’s the thing though: 99% of the time those people do NOT care! They don’t even remember what the conversation was about. Most neurotypical people (in my experience at least) are so nonchalant about social interactions. If I apologize the next time I see that person I’m ruminating over they will literally not even know what I am talking about lol. You are okay and it is not a big deal I promise!!!!!! Also you cannot help the way you socialize, the same way I can’t, so why beat ourselves up about it? We are perfect the way we are. Autism is super debilitating though in that sense and trust me I totally get it, but you shouldn’t feel bad for being you hon. ❤️🩹
