if you can feel others emotions you are not psychotic. i believe that is more related to not feeling emotions at all and so you feel you need to pretend those emotions.

i am problem solver. i am also someone who tends to be very optimistic. but sometimes people take advantage and if you actually try to help someone you just get yelled at for not being a ‘better consoler’ or ‘better listener’

i have noticed this in unhealthy relationships where a main component of friendship is talking about things going wrong. i feel sometimes i get to a point where i am tired of being that person to people. i’ve heard autistic people can attract people who want to complain a lot.

during autistic burnout, do you notice empathy fatigue? you still care about people’s feelings but your ability to console, offer encouragement, etc has sort if dwindled? i feel that i am always trying to build people up and make them feel better and sometimes i just can’t.

me today: i really want to eat alone and not talk/mask/etc.

also me: forcing myself to socialize even though i am not super comfortable. but sometimes connection is important.

do you relate to this, or are you ok/content with being more reserved?

it does seem friendlier here, yes.

i agree. it sometimes feels too quiet/calm here. see on twitter 💗

i am seeing posts here and it seems calmer here. twitter sometimes feels too big and overwhelming. just a lot going on.

hello everyone. i don’t post here much. thought i’d say hello. how are you doing? do you go in twitter much?
