It feels like I try so hard to be considerate of other people’s feelings and actively go out of my way to not say anything hurtful but rarely do others put this effort in for me. I’m constantly thinking about how to best phrase things and not harm anyone so I genuinely don’t understand why others cannot do the same for me. I’m no longer even saddened by this just confused and frustrated as to why I put so much energy into something almost no one else does. I’m most likely autistic I know exactly how difficult and how much effort it takes this isn’t an automatic skill I’ve always had I needed to teach myself how to read people or read rooms to stay safe. Perhaps I’m victimizing myself but all I’m asking for is to have my feelings matter too.
