Comment on How to deal with people who obtusely miss your point on Lemmy?
Strider@lemmy.world 3 days agoHey, thanks for continuing. I have to say, you’re possibly right with overthinking. That’s what we do. And hence, we often jump around to the point of getting lost in our own line of thinking - the latter being exactly what happened.
I am now trying to read through the fragments and have a very hard time following myself. If we were sitting together it might be easier, doing this asynchronous is hard work. So thanks for putting up with that and your effort.
Let me do some jumping around mobile and desktop and see of I can follow up.

No worries. I discovered the autism lemmy and think I have broad phenotype autism, so I’m always interested in learning more.
I worked at a tech place and got along with everyone there. I thought it meant I was likable and it just different places are going to have different vibes, but someone pointed out tech people tend towards autism, so maybe all that was happening was that I find myself with a group of people who naturally shared my communication style… and that, basically still, I’m unlikable.

Not unlikable, that’s important. You be yourself. Masking will put a heavy strain on you, find your people.
We don’t get much external positive reinforcement so the negative tends to stick and impact our self esteem, it’s a negative loop.

Oh, hey, Strider. I’m the guy you had an imaginary confrontation with in a thread yesterday. We were talking about autism. I thought I’d find you here!
Yeah, my problem is that I’m not finding my people anywhere, and I’m getting old. I’m thinking I need to explore Mastodon and MakerTube, because I’m not finding people in meatspace and not even really on-line either.

Haha, touche I think. I’m confused as always (and my lemmy client even added to this now since the comment was too deep… Lol).
Yeah, same boat here with the difference is the last attempt burned me further and meatspace… Well, you know how it goes when leaving the house alone is too much of a strain nevermind meeting and interacting with people.
