>no friends>early 20s>do not fit inThose are the main things. I do get people that occasionally try to befriend me, but then either ghost me or greyrock me or whatever it is called.I never really fit in and was a failed normie in denial when I was younger, but now this situation is affecting my mind since I seem to make people uncomfortable, even women who approached me first and tried to talk to me for a few minutes.I tried reading some symptoms online but they seem to be some very generic and broad traits that do not really jump out to me.I was hoping that someone on this board could enlighten me as to whether I am actually on the spectrum.
I am willing to elaborate if my OP did not paint a clear enough picture.
>>34846416The present “everyone has autism” shit is an absolute meme. Of course the idea of autism applies to literally everyone now. It’s the new way to take zero responsibility for your social life in a world of narcissism. I’m not saying you’re a narcissist, I’m saying that 99.9% of people claiming to have autism after 2012 or so are.Autism is a form of being mildly retarded. You do not want to be retarded. Nobody should be looking at their life like this and saying>huh maybe I’m fucking retardedTherapists should not be giving away the title like it’s water. It’s honestly a fucking horrible thing to do>guess you’re retarded dude but don’t worry we’ll call it a spectrum and shitWork on yourself. You don’t have autism.
>>34846422That is the thing, I do not want to be a retard, I want to be normal and fit in. I really do try but no one likes me. I know it is not my face, and when I try to ask people why they do not invite me out or want to hang out there is always some sort of excuse.>maybe it is your face after allI have dated and been in a relationship before, but never went further due to some superstitions I have and involuntary fear response that grips me when it is time to play.I want to be fucking normal
