probably my worst autism experience is a “friend” using his knowledge of my insecurities to publicly humiliate me as revenge for something he knew i didnt realize had upset him and watching the rest of my friends still hang out with him constantly

like. this man deliberately hid from that he was hurt by something i’d said. he knew i had no idea i’d hurt him. then he sat and stewed on it for two weeks before chewing me out in front of all of our friends. didn’t apologize until i asked him for answers because i still didn’t know what i’d done. admitted he’d wanted to hurt me as much as possible. took me up on an offer to drive him 4 hrs home for break, while planning to enact this revenge.

after i’ve been BEYOND a good friend to him. been his source of emotional support so much that our mutual friend had to ask if i was okay because i was “taking the brunt of his emotions”. defended him when his ex spread rumors about him. and he has the nerve to say “i hope you dont think this means i can’t be a good friend to you” as if he ever. fucking. HAS.

oh and then i tell someone about all this and they ask what i said to upset him, and i get to see all that sympathy vanish from their face bc how could i not know that was wrong to say? as if that’s not the whole fucking point? as if i don’t literally have a disability that makes it hard for me to understand the impact my words have on people? meanwhile when plenty of other people heard me say it and thought nothing of it, so clearly i wasnt the only one who didnt realize it was wrong?

some people don’t care i guess, which i really dont understand. friend groups can be so confusing and frustrating to navigate. no matter how much i try to think before i act or speak i’m always doing something wrong somehow

basically i told him to “shut his big fucking mouth”. i know sounds bad but it felt very much in line with our banter and he’s said things just as mean to me/other friends, so honestly i still dont know why it was so hurtful. but yeah like you said i do feel bad and apologized as soon as i realized
