every time I talk and interact with someone I feel like I have to let them know that I'm retarded. I am on the spectrum along woth some other things and I find myself apologizing for being retarded many times a day. I'm not good at social interactions but that doesn't stop me from talking to everyone and anyone, but when I mess up even a little I apologize and tell them I'm retarded or autistic.
>>84304178for me it's more of a fear, I have to keep everyone at a distance because I feel like the closer they get and the more they know about me they'll realize what a retard I am and want nothing to do with me. Because I am a genuine retard too
>>84304196same sort of. people are kept at a distance because I'm schizo and will probably think they're trying to kill me if they get too close. but I also apologize for being retarded to cashiers, people on the street that I accidentally walk into.. everyone. I feel like I should hold a sign that says "I am mentally challenged and if I am doing something wrong I probably don't even realise it."
