Bio

I have ASD, which, for me, besides making social interactions confusing, it seems to also make me sensitive to things, and not just being offended.

I overanalyze and care too much about people

...See more Every time I am in public and I bump into someone, it instantly mentally hurts a little, whenever I hear them talking something bad about something, I instantly subconciously fear they're talking about me, when someone talks to me online and it isn't inherently nice and positive, I feel insulted.  I talked about that to multiple mental health professionalists, all of them did nothing but, in short, tell me that I should "not care that much about others and what they think" How??????? Does anyone know, like, anything I can ACTUALLY and straightforwardly start doing to stop overthinking/fearing/having a traumatic response/just feeling bad when I interact with strangers, or what i perceive as strangers?  (worth mentioning that i have ASD)
