I struggle with socializing a. I feel like I miss so many social cues and facial expressions and I cut people off so often. But really, that's not as bad as my own facial expressions. I feel like I come off as off-putting and people avoid me. Any advice?

Or does anyone feel the same? I just feel like it's a really bad rbf and I come off as scowling or something. And that's on top of not knowing how to understand facial expressions or understanding social cues. My mom always told me it was because I have high functioning autism and that I come off as rude because people think I'm neurotypical. Idk i just thought I'd ask and it's my first time posting here

No I kinda relate. I have a rbf too and feel like I come off as mean or annoyed 24/:$ although I feel like I see at lot that people don’t see. Like I notice small expressions and stuff that people often miss. I honestly love that about myself.
