i have the autism that makes you stare at people. i love people and i love looking at them but i kinda have to stopwhenever i see a fellow tranny or on rare occasions a fellow boymoder i stare at them and it's actually an issue. i rarely make eye contact but i feel such a kinship i struggle to stop myself from staringall my friends i stare at because staring at them makes me happy, but it's kinda weird and sometimes they look uncomfy about it so i try to limit myself but it's hardi've noticed recently also when i look (i usually don't stare but i will briefly look) at strangers on the street they smile at me, and i do not know how to smile on command. how does one do that and why are they smiling at mewhen i was a kid i used to wear sunglasses all the time so i could stare at all the strangers but i don't really care to stare at strangers anymoreis this malebrained or fembrained and how do i stop
>>36672130Be more like these fucker and rock the sunglasses look mate
>>36672158the only people i really stare at now are my friends and trannies i clock though so that wouldn't be too helpful and i'm not wearing sunglasses insideanyway vriska did nothing wrong
>>36672130malebrained as hell but also kinda adorable. too bad youre a tranny, we need more cute autistic bfs who dont have agp
>>36672208I'll be honest, I've only gotten a bit into act 2 so far so I have no idea who vriska is, maybe just stare at the ground inside?
>>36672245>*instead, I meant instead, not inside
>>36672130malebrained but cute. sunglasses are genuinely a good shout
>>36672245good luck, are you reading on the unofficial homestuck collection?anyway yeah, i do try to stare at the ground but it's kinda hard... and with my friends i kinda just either make no eye contact or stare into their soul every possible second>>36672308i'm worried sunglasses will make it worse because i'll get too used to doing it and then when i can't wear sunglasses, eg inside, it will be more of an issue>>36672215>>36672308i don't think it's cute in reality, maybe theoretically. i have a very inexpressive face so i just sort of blankly stare into their eyes and then occasionally realise i've been staring too long and look at something elsealso sometimes i stare at other expressive parts like their hands or their mouth so i think sometimes it comes across as quite creepy
>>36672390>i'm worried sunglasses will make it worse because i'll get too used to doing it and then when i can't wear sunglasses, eg inside, it will be more of an issuei guess this makes sense as a concern. the issue is that actively masking it is going to take a lot of conscious effort and ultimately that's why autists tend to feel so tired from social interaction, constantly having to check for things like thatin the nicest possible way, never be afraid to make things easier for yourself, we are literally living on hard mode>i don't think it's cute in reality, maybe theoretically. i have a very inexpressive face so i just sort of blankly stare into their eyes and then occasionally realise i've been staring too long and look at something else>also sometimes i stare at other expressive parts like their hands or their mouth so i think sometimes it comes across as quite creepysweetheart, just because normalfags get weirded out by it doesn't mean it's not cuteultimately like you shouldn't feel like you have to make facial movements to align with a social code and i think that given it seems to be (as you describe it) a form of endearment then maybe you should try and surround yourself with people who actually recognise thatlike i totally get why you'd be self-conscious about it, it's completely understandable, but ultimately the argument that normalfags use of you making them "uncomfortable" is a non-issue because you can't help it (and, frankly, shouldn't be forced to)>t. autistic but also dated a cute autistic boy for a while who did almost exactly this
I would not stare as much really. veer off and look off to the side. I do that. I'm retarded. But not autist
>>36672446>never be afraid to make things easier on yourselfi think i could maybe wear sunglasses more often but i still think it's something i have to mask to some extent>it seems to be (as you describe it) a form of endearmentyeah, i stare at people more the more i like them or think i like them because it makes me happy to see them. but idk how exactly people are meant to recognise that that's why i do itthanks for your affirmations i appreciate it. i think most of my friends don't mind it and/or are also autists so maybe i should worry about it less around thembut i really should stop staring at strangers>>36672464i do try to do that but it's kinda difficult to consciously keep up and then if i do people still expect some level of eye contact. and when i'm out my eyes sorta bounce around like i'm scanning the environment for threats and it's kinda hard to exhibit conscious control over them
>>36672688where do u live u sweetheart u darling we can be frens
>>36672688>i think i could maybe wear sunglasses more often but i still think it's something i have to mask to some extentthat's alright! as i say, it's not like i'm trying to tell you what to do, just a suggestion if it helps. :)>yeah, i stare at people more the more i like them or think i like them because it makes me happy to see them. but idk how exactly people are meant to recognise that that's why i do iti think to a certain extent you just... know? probably from context clues or whatnot. idk specifically.>thanks for your affirmations i appreciate it. i think most of my friends don't mind it and/or are also autists so maybe i should worry about it less around themit's a pleasure! and ideally, you should feel more comfortable around your friends. if they're all autists then most of them probably won't mind anyways.>but i really should stop staring at strangersstill totally makes sense, and i hope this doesn't end up being too difficult for youygmi! :D
>>36672725i live in australia we probably aren't near...>>36672759thank you, you're so nice. wagmi
ur very funni op u should be friends with sasha
>>36672898thanks, i don't know who sasha is though
>>36672883melbourne?
>>36672883are u that frankston poster
>>36674892come to frankstonfind out
>>36672883ADELAIDEDELAIDE
>>36674938what is frankston even like demographically? muslims, sudanese, asians? is it even that dangerous anymore? feels like an old stereotype. one time when i was on the train to footscray station i was swarmed by a group of intoxicated sudanese men, and one behind me played an electric razor sound on his phone and held it up to my head, to prank me. i dont like the africans here. they're always in gangs
>and i do not know how to smile on command. how does one do that and why are they smiling at meYou know how when you were a dude and you made eye contact with other men they nodded at you? its a gendered identify friend or foe system but women don't get nods they get a brief smile
>>36674959it is a gentrified mega-expensive beach side suburb that would be up there with the likes of brighton if it wasn't so far from the CBD demographically it is disproportionately white and chinese and viets are probably the second most common i dont know i usually forget my callipers.
>>36674892no?>>36674969huh, i didn't know that. that explains a lot actually thanks
