At first I was not going to go after how I felt at the last one. So at the gym earlier in the week when they were promoting it I posted in the comments how I felt like I was ignored at the last one. I even approached people and was ignored.
The next morning leaving for yoga class the leader texted me personally begging me to come this Saturday afternoon. I said that I have problems socializing. She said to come and we will talk. I told her I might come.
After that week talking to my yoga teacher and my friend at the park I decided to go today. I left later and got there and right away felt ignored by everyone especially the women. I did get some food and ran into the leader.
We has a good talk. She said I can help with the set up. I said that I do yoga which helps. She said she is a yoga instructor. What surprised me is that she said the one that was doing the nametag was on the spectrum. He goes to all the events and I never expected him to be autistic. I then told her I am autistic. She said no problem that there are a few people here that are. That when he first came here he was afraid to socialize too.
I then talked to him for about five minutes and he is going through the same exact experience relationship wise that I am going through.
I then will text her my email when I get home. So then I walked around with some desert an a attractive woman who might have known me or not approaches me as I have a name tag and actually talks to me. We talk about my name and the food. About how she is Italian and how she knows a lot of Tony's. I tell her that is my middle name but my real name is Hugo. I mention my grandfather is Italian and that my cousins names and she says they are Italian. She then points me to the actual food then she says bye and I say thanks.
I go to sit down and eat and after awhile another attractive woman approached me who remembered me from the social a few months ago. I then remember her. We talk about how I felt a little sad and no I did not overshare anything and she said about meditation, and we talked much about that. We had a good conversation that lasted over ten minutes. It was only when another guy came, also I know that we still talked. When another older woman came I did not know the conversation focused more on her so then when another woman joined I said to her I am leaving thanks. She said my name and politely said bye.
I walked home saying no women don't hate me and I have to get that terrible thought out if my mind and she even said to start to write positive things about myself and to meditate about it just like my yoga teacher. I had a good day.
