Search Results: stop obsessing

Hello everyone, I’m curious to know if autism is a dealbreaker for dating someone.

Long story short — I’m autistic. Everyone experiences it differently, but for me it looks like this.

I can’t tell when people are angry or sad, especially if it’s at something I’ve done. I can’t read between the lines when people talk. I’m extremely awkward and have a hard time with small talk. I get super uncomfortable and upset with loud/sudden noises. I’m also extremely honest, and can often offend people, but not on purpose. I cannot lie, it’s almost impossible. I also have a monotone voice, and hardly ever express emotion, so this may make me seem more boring at first. I get obsessed with things, and obsessions with autism are known as “special interests” where I talk non stop about some certain subject and I just learn everything about it ^-^

But basically, the biggest challenge for me is just being suuuuuper awkward. I’m also known as the tall lanky kid who plays video games all the time lol.

I’m just wondering if autism is a dealbreaker for you guys? Just curious and bored at 3AM, so thought I’d come here to see what you guys think.

When I started my job, the VP of my department instantly started hitting on me even though he's married with children. He became obsessed with me and it was very uncomfortable and inappropriate.

When I put a stop to it by avoiding him and not responding to his advances, he got VERY angry with me and started glaring at me, looking at me with contempt. He can put on a good show in front of others but every now and then I'll catch him giving me this look of pure and utter hatred, like he wants me dead.

He recently told me that HE is the one who decides what happens to people in the company, and while they THINK they have a choice, they actually don't because HE is the one who controls their fate.

I feel that I'm in danger with this guy. Should I quit asap?
