I’ve been bullied by so many grown ass NT women at different jobs for NO REASON. I mask well, I’m cordial, don’t over share, am a good worker, and still they’re just fucking mean, and for what??

My experience is mostly “I’m mostly friends with guys. Not because “girls are too much drama”, but because they are just straight up mean to me for no reason”

I agree!!! Its happened to me before too so many times with neurotypical women and its ridiculous especially at work because like tf I didn’t do anything wrong I’m just a little slow??? So what if I am? Sorry that I’m not “popular” like the rest of you women are 😐 (I’m neurodivergent)

It’s SO frustrating because personally, I get so much gratification from being kind to people and seeing them light up when I compliment them or just interact in another nice way. What do you gain from making someone feel bad??

I agree!!! I don’t understand people that get so much gratification from being the exact opposite of that and hating on people who are viewed as minorities or “less than”. Like I’m trying my best yet all I ever recieve from them is “you’re not trying hard enough”, “you’re not doing your best”, “try again”, “be better!!!” even though its super hard for me to go that fast and they are super impatient with me and just blow out lots of steam and go “thats it, we’re done here” & I have to say sorry

and that alone just makes me feel so worthless and ashamed and bad about myself. I got fired before for not going at the exact speed as everyone else and that I was making up excuses for going slower so I’m never picking up any fast paced job because its too much for my stupid brain apparently

God I feel you :,) I’m sorry friend, it sucks. Personally, I just moved to a new city and decided to be the social butterfly I’ve always wanted to be. I overheard a coworker calling me weird and other autism-associated things, and it just stung so bad. First, why does it matter to you? And second, the main point, it’s so painful to think I’m finally fitting in and to realize people will always pick up on the fact that I’m different :/

I know, it hurts so bad I feel you too friend. I wish neurodivergence wasn’t such a hard thing to live with and I wish people would be less hateful and more understanding. the very last thing we need right now is hate in this world because there’s already so much of it. The last thing a person should do is get upset over having a disability which is impossible to have any type of control over. It’s not a trend, and it’s not considered attention seeking to be different. it’s a real thing. :(

And I agree, why does it matter so much to other people? We’re just humans like everyone else trying to survive. And it’s more difficult for us to survive. I try to be a social butterfly but it’s so difficult for me because people pick up on the bad traits of my disability and then think I’m weird or a freak. but we all have reasons to why we do the things we do. its just all about having a friend that will love you regardless of the way you are who you are. I hope you find someone irl who can

Thank you so much for your kind words <3 ultimately, the mean people don’t matter. As long as you surround yourself with people who make you happy and improve your life, that’s all that matters. But I know it’s really hard to internalize that and block out the people taking jabs at your most sensitive insecurities :(

thank you 💕 <3 and yes it is difficult. I try not to care about mean people but they still piss me off so much. I’m still on the journey trying to find people who aren’t so mean who I can surround myself with.
