Is it normal to be upset about a breakup as an autistic person when you don’t believe lightning will strike twice?

[Anonymous]

When you realize how rare that it was that it happens and that losing it is the same as a neurotypical person. Your lack of social skills can’t just go out and impress or flirt with other women statistically men on the spectrum have issues dating. I thought I finally broke through some days in really depressed about the relationship not the girl herself and the gravity of what happened. I knew after the relationship was over that I was going to return to a very lonely isolated life. I simply don’t have the social skills to get me into another relationship that only happen cause I happened to be paired up with her at work and I was new she also said how awkward I was even then.

I appreciate opinions but also it’s important to understand that autistic brains are wired completely differently then neurotypical

I'm autistic. You make too many artificial barriers for yourself

[Asker]

These really aren’t I have never had friends in life I struggle really bad socially more often then not I get made fun of and excluded.

I wish these were artificial barriers but then I would be denying how different I really am. I have no clue how to talk to people if someone comes up talking to me I don’t know how to keep the conversation going I don’t know how to end the conversation none of this stuff do I understand. You can probably understand that if people don’t understand your autistic that you could be labeled a creep. I already have super low self esteem

Stop using that as an excuse.

It’s not an excuse I’m 33 and have never had friends at all my whole life. The autistic brain is wired extremely differently than the neurotypical. In social situations it becomes clear right away something is different
