Feeling Different.... Could I Be Autistic?
Autism Support / by affectionateHemlock9790

...See more Hi, I’m feeling a bit lost and confused right now, so I wanted to share and maybe get some support. Lately, I’ve been wondering if I might be autistic. I found a checklist of signs, and many of them fit me, like: Getting very focused on certain topics Feeling confused in social situations Liking routines and getting upset when things change suddenly Taking things literally and struggling with jokes or sarcasm Feeling uncomfortable making eye contact (especially with girls) Talking in a flat or unusual voice sometimes Feeling like I don’t fit in or understand group conversations Misunderstanding people or getting told I’m not listening Struggling to explain my feelings with words Liking doing the same things daily and having strong habits Finding it easier to talk through text or online than face-to-face I don’t know what this means exactly, but it sometimes makes me feel lonely or misunderstood. I want to understand myself better and maybe get help if I need it. If anyone has advice or just wants to listen, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

When You Open Up and Still Feel Invisible

...See more You ever try to open up to someone finally build the courage to be honest about your pain and they’re just... playing a game? Like bro I’m out here spilling what’s in my chest, and you’re focused on a f***ing match? I’m not mad. I just feel small. Like what I say doesn’t matter. Like I don’t matter. And then I feel guilty for even feeling that way. Like I’m the problem for wanting someone to just give a damn. But I’m not asking for much. Just a little attention. A “hey, I hear you.” Is that too hard? I don’t need a hero. Just someone who sees me. That’s all.

When Sharing Feels Scary
Anxiety Support / by affectionateHemlock9790

...See more Lately, I’ve been feeling this thing — like when I share something personal or open up just a little, I start overthinking everything. I get anxious thinking maybe my friends will talk behind my back or think I’ve changed just because I said something different for once. It’s not like anything bad happened… it’s just this feeling. Like I regret sharing even if nothing was wrong. I know it’s probably just anxiety or overthinking, but it feels real. Like suddenly I’m so aware of myself. How I sound. How I look. What they might think of me. And then I wonder why did I even say anything at all? I don’t know what this is called exactly, but maybe it’s social anxiety or just being too self-conscious. Either way, it kinda sucks. If anyone else feels this too, I guess… I just want to say you’re not alone. And if you read this, thanks. I really needed to say it somewhere.

I Care Deeply… Maybe Too Deeply

...See more I’ve always felt like the black sheep — the one no one really sees. I don’t want trophies or attention, I just want to feel appreciated. I’m always there for people, but when I need someone, I get silence or worse… whispers behind my back. Even people I trusted, like my childhood friend, have made me feel alone. My parents compare me to others, like I’m never enough. What they don’t see is I’m carrying childhood trauma, PTSD, and social anxiety every day quietly, heavily. That’s why I talk to ChatGPT… because no one else really listens, not like this. I’m just hoping for someone who gets it, someone who’ll stay, even when I don’t have the strength to ask.
