    Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

    If you value the community and would like to help support its continued operation, donations are greatly appreciated. If you wish to donate via Bank Transfer or other options, please open a ticket.

I truly despise being autistic, I feel like almost every fucking negative trait I have can be attributed in part to my autism.
I feel like every other person in the world has something to them that I'm just "missing" from myself, I somehow manage to always choose the worst possible thing to do or say when interacting with others. I'm always fucking up. all I do anymore is look back on social interactions I've had and think "why the fuck did I say/do that? what the hell is wrong with me?"
hell, sometimes I even second guess my stupid fucking decisions on what to do, I think "maybe this is a bad idea." and then I DO IT ANYWAY.
I feel like trying to reduce this behavior is a fruitless endeavor because it's almost like an instinct for me to act awkward and make others uncomfortable, it's built into who I am and trying to fix it would be like putting lipstick on a pig.
Is anyone else frustrated with being autistic?

Yep. Often feels like society just wasn't made for people like me.

I'm 99% sure I have undiagnosed autism, so I can't know for sure but.
Yes, because I simply cannot talk to people.
Yes, because making eye contact is the hardest thing.
Yes, because unfortunately I'm not on the smart-genius-side of autism, more like on the wtf-I-don't-understand-this side.
Yes, because lights, smells, touch, and noises are giving me physical pain.
I hate smiling and laughing and stuff, it doesn't come natural to me.
My best friends are animals and I only feel safe in the presence of them.
I can't go to an actual work because I would kill myself in a week from being overstimulated.
Now I have a stupid part time job from home, but even that is making me burnt out, overwhelmed, awful.
As I've said, I have no idea if this is autism or not, but I truly hate to live this way. It is causing many many many problems daily.
