    Having a job that require s so much social intricacies is a mistake for me. I should have been diagnosed when i was a child. Thanks for nothing dear home country

    Not even my parents know about my asd. I could never tell them let alone anyone else. They would not believe it anyway and even if they did they would just treat me as intellectually disabled or an invalid

    Think of the "Peter Principle".

    How persons in management were promoted to jobs they don't necessarily understand based on prior jobs they may have excelled at. That they often just appear to know what they are doing, even if they aren't.

    Crazy, huh? It's ok to feel over your head on the job. it happens. But it doesn't necessarily mean you can't cut it, whatever you decide to do.

    Good luck. Maybe you will just get a written reprimand. It might not be as bad as you think.

    I really feel guilty for pretending to be someone i am not. I feel like i need to disclose my autism and adhd at work.

    Not being able to notice people's thoughts about me sucks. Like i really think someone's kind but they might actually hate me

    I might have to babysit my friend's daughter today. I am a bit anxious, i don't want her to get bored. Does anyone have an idea of any fun activities to keep her from getting bored? She is 7

    My biggest wish is to not be an emotional burden on anyone. I want to be liked and than forgotten

    I hate it too. I work full time and i am still a financial burden to my parents.

    Life got so much easier when i started to stop chasing some grand happiness ideal and just stay in this moment. And allow myself to feel good over silly little stuff

    My focus is on simple emotional stability.

    That's harder, but achievable.

    I know i need to meet new friends irl, but i can't find anyone i can connect with and making plans with people i have to mask around is such a hassle.
    AprilR

    I am sorry you experienced it too, bluebird. Sometimes i really think people are too irrational for me

    It was not like him to just ghost me like that. He was a really great friend. I've tried initiating communication again, but no luck. I just hope his problems didn't make him do something regretful. Unfortunately I have no way of finding out. Perhaps others can give you some info on your friend?
