being autistic is wild because apparently being “overly helpful” is a thing? paying for things when out with friends? giving advice to a first year on a class theyre taking that i took last semester? offering notes to a classmate that missed last week? moving boxes that are a bit too heavy for me? all things ive gotten the Allistic Look of Disapproval for
“be friendly and youll make friends” my ass. you just cant win with some people
In elementary school I was ostracized for being creepy after I gave Christmas presents to all my friends. I put a lot of thought into them and personalized each one. I didn’t understand why they all stopped speaking to me, even after one of their moms told me my present was ‘a little much’.
damn. this tho! sometimes its like how you shouldnt show up to a casual function in a fancy dress because you dont want to make everyone else look underdressed in comparison but, like, its fucking christmas how are you supposed to tell whats “too much” with fucking thoughtfulness and effort??? boils my blood
i was also ostracized by my kindergarten class for handing out paper hearts when it wasnt valentine’s day, i just wanted to be nice but fuck that i guess lmao
