I feel a preemptive pain when I receive a message, almost as if I’m going to get yelled at for taking too long to reply or for not fully understanding the message from every contextual angle possible to understand a hidden meaning that I’m supposed to infer from, or for expressing the wrong emotion/tone.
It even happens when I just see the message notification
Welp
Weird enough for me, everyone around me knew/heavily suspected that I was autistic, would tease/mock my traits and proceed to flip out when I react. Only found out after I reached out with the suspicion that I might be autistic.
At least now I’m surrounded with more (seemingly) understanding people, even though I haven’t told them.
Tram!! :3
