i relate so much. i find myself heavily editing every comment i make, deleting and reposting things that don’t make “visual sense,” etc. burnout is seriously awful. i try to remind myself that the internet is vast and no one is concerned with my keyslams… maybe that’s a start? happy to message you to talk about it more!!

Lemmy is the perfect place because you can follow whichever topics you like and nobody needs to know who you are; you can completely be yourself
Don't have a personality unless I'm around other people>
I can def relate. I feel like many of us can. When your alone there's no personalities to bounce off of to create YOURS, so it's just you doing thought circles about literal nothing.
I'm relatively new to social media, I'm 33, and I usually avoid people. I'm not sure if I'm autistic but I'm definitely weird af by the people around me's standards. Lol
Be yourself always, love yourself. Your all you have at the end of the day. Putting on a charade for others is sort of like a lie, it only really affects you in the end. (:
Much love
thank you for your kind words! a lot of my autism realization came from reading "unmasking autism" by devon price- highly recommend!
I can't really relate myself but good luck on your journey!!
Hello! I'm also recently figuring out I'm autistic so I definitely can relate to your post! I'll start with something fun and easy. Tell me about your favorite special interests!!
hey!! i'm studying to be a music teacher and mued is my favorite thing ever. i also love doctor who! my cat would be another special interest at this point hehe. hows about you??
Music is the best! That's awesome that you're becoming a teacher for it!! What's your favorite kind of music? Any fav bands? :)
Oh my gosh I used to be so into doctor who and then they took it away from the streaming service I watched on and I haven't caught up in so many years 😭 it was sooo good though!
Ohh I love animals! What's your cat's name? I totally know what you mean about our pets being another special interest lol I love mine the same <3
i love allllll kinds of music. i spend 4+ hours a day listening to different genres. one of my favorite artists right now is remi wolf, she combines the meticulous production style of bedroom pop with funk/soul powerhouse vocals. and, i also love the folk band nickel creek! seeing them in concert next month.
doctor who is ... chef's kiss. the last few seasons have been mid because the writing team changed. jodie whitacre got pretty much screwed. it's all on HBO (i guess it's called max ...) now! excited for the next season to come out.
my cat's name is sasha! she's 1 and a half, and a russian blue. rescued from woods in my hometown.
As another autistic person, welcome! There's an autism community on here, but in general that like, feels like such a mood lol. I'm just glad we're all anonymous on reddit (and now Lemmy) so that I don't actually have to act with any accountability; especially here where no one irl knows my account lol
