Hello, I am new here.
I am undiagnosed but have been suggested as probably being on the spectrum by my therapist. So I thought maybe this could be a good place to explore this issue I’ve noticed recently.
I mean stuff like personal appearance? It’s fine, nobody will say anything negative and I know that, but thinking about changing my beard style or removing it all together or I’m a little bored with some of my clothing. But thinking about doing something about it, I just know everyone will have to address it and ask the same questions or make the same comments about it and, I don’t know, like feel mentally exhausted just thinking about it.
Does anyone else experience this? It feels incredibly silly and annoying.
I get this, and I think the root is that I’m overlooking something that will be “too much” and others will ridicule me for it or make some meaning out of it that isn’t there.
That makes total sense. I think I usually err on the side of thinking things are a bigger deal than they are and worry about something no one will even consider.
Yeah, cause sometimes I overlook something I thought was inconsequential and it turned out to be a big deal. Usually, they could have been resolved easily, but some people insist on making it a big deal. I’m learning to recognize and stay away from people like that, which has been helpful.
