NOBODY CARES

I don't have autism, I have other mental disorders but I hear you and I'm sick of being judged and misunderstood, at home, at work, and with my family, I feel so alone, it's shit

Hello @LeaveMeAlone.

Thank you so much for sharing your story with us.

It sounds like things are feeling very vulnerable for you at the moment and I can hear how much you are needing those around you to understand your experience and intentions. Navigating neurodivergence can be incredibly difficult, but know that you are with likeminds on the forums. In fact, I think this space will be very relative to your experience and may provide some of the understanding and support you are needing right now:

Don’t worry fellow vulnerable, you have me! My Autism despises judgement as it requires being a shallow piece of work lacking any humanity, which I can’t do. It sucks we can’t have people around us to give us simple support when we’re in our lowest, instead recommending us their “advice” or that we be happy “like them” and “everyone else” which is just an inappropriate thing to say!

Thank you, I’m happy to hear that this space appears non-judgemental and understanding which should be the basic thing to do. That is all I want and I shouldn’t be “crazy” wanting this in a world that’s very unaccommodating and hostile in general.

Of course @LeaveMeAlone 💛

Also, don't forget to tag the people by pressing '@' and then their name so they don't miss your replies!

Ok, thanks for letting me know.

i imagine it would be isolating @nobody_cares i dont have autism but i do have a way of making people not like me in the real world, which gets pretty isolating. im here for ya mate :)

Hey there @sillybilly01

Welcome to the SANE forums 👋 We're glad that you found this space, and hope that you can form some connections with the other members of this community!

Dealing with isolation and lonliness can be super tough, and it sounds like you're feeling like you're partially responsible for that happening. That seems like a really heavy thought to carry. If you're wanting to just connect with someone for a chat, this service -> https://friendline.org.au/ might be a good one to try.

In the meantime, please feel free to introduce yourself in this thread: https://saneforums.org/messages/1149480 so that you can get to know other members here!

Thank you so much, really appreciated. Autism or however we come across are some factors that deter ungrateful people away from us, but it also has to do with them and how they generally behave. Even with this common knowledge, it doesn’t take away the hurt when I’d constantly get rejected or belittled for being who I am. I ask myself: “Why can’t we all just get along?? I don’t get it..” I’d get conflicted even if those people don’t deserve my conflictions or authenticity.

@LeaveMeAlone totally get it and relate. I am really down at the moment and struggling to find my place. It is tough when you have this label. No one really gets you and their ignorance results in them having you misunderstood. The cause and effect is real. Says a lot about how people can be left behind. I have no real support other than my practioners and a few close people. But even they do not know what I have and if I say anything they often chuckle. Life is tough
