[url=/users/profile/Kyariel][@Kyariel][/url] Ugh yeah that's an issue.

[quote="EonArisen"] [url=/users/profile/Sefria][@Sefria][/url] I'm sorry for not getting back sooner! Well, if we're talking about personal space still, the inverse can apply as well. Aspies, due to not really understanding social cues, can oftentimes end up invading others' person 'bubble', you know? Additionally, when I say these traits that apply to anyone, what I mean is, well, it applies even moreso for Aspies. No one likes being tapped when they're in a bad mood, but Aspies even moreso. [/quote] Hm, okay, so I think I'm beginning to understand a little more. It's all a matter of degree, right? Where partly that's the whole point that small things might not just seem like big things but actually *be* big things? Or am I misunderstanding that?

[url=/users/profile/Sefria][@Sefria][/url] You got it exactly right, actually! Every negative sensation we feel can sometimes be dialed up to eleven if we're feeling really stressed.

Funny enough to try and bring levity back...its thanks to anime I at least got the hang of what emotions were when it came to seeing others. That was a big help in me learning how to tell what others were thinking when they interacted with me.

[url=/users/profile/Kyariel][@Kyariel][/url] Trust me, there are some good ones out there. Just keep looking.

[url=/users/profile/EonArisen][@EonArisen][/url] Oh I'm aware I meant the ones I met when little all gave me that vibe of being all 'I'm better than you because I am not autistic'.

[url=/users/profile/Kyariel][@Kyariel][/url] Oh, yeah. That makes sense.
