This will be a long journey, but I think a good thing to aim for is understanding fairness and boundaries. It can take years of studying social situations and ethics, but that’s to be expected. If you can get to the point where those guide your motivations and behavior more so than being liked, it’s so much less stressful.

Because living with fairness and boundaries (while understanding how those show up in various social situations) will help you to be liked by many people who really care and matter. And the people who don’t like you when you set fair boundaries are the ones you could never please anyway… the people who would take and take and take.

If you look up videos by ‘Julian himself’ on YouTube they are pretty good. He might be just trying to sell a course or whatever but he does post a lot of his content. I’ve found some of the principles very helpful.

I got the no emotions autism, so I wish I was more help? My best recommendation might be to just remember to keep healthy distance so you have breathing room. Be kind to yourself and remember your boundaries and limits.

Understand that reputation is an illusion casted onto you without a definite proof. You don’t need reputation, you need thoughtful decision, action, and peace with yourself knowing you try your best

And if you can meditate on this thought and believe it. Integrate it slowly over time. Maybe write down one action or decision you want to commit to
