Why do I have to be this way? Why can't I be a normie and not the weirdo who doesn't talk? It's exhausting having to be social but sometimes it's lonely at the bottom.
Autistic with a job thread.

As much as we love being hermits this is the result. Even autists can learn enough to socialise normally, we do it to ourselves that's the reality. I hate socialising from the start so I'm having to accept I'm always going to be a social peanut and get anxiety from it but it's what I've chosen.

You know, it's interesting. I'm a suspected sperg but I have my doubts, I think anxiety and a preference for my own solitude most of the time makes me look that way but I don't think I have the core deficits autists do.
