To be honest, I love being a part of a group. I even crave it, sometimes. The hard part is finding an appropriate group, and the harder part is to feel comfortable in it.

Yeah I feel the same but I do need to recharge after even if it's my closest friends.
Yes, for me it's very common and very easy not to notice too
This is basically the plot of "Brave New World"
I JUST read that book lol
Not autist (or never looked) but... basically that is what I feel. I join people, a discord group or whatever then the second I actually let myself go Im kind of a pariah for saying something idiotic casually or behaving in a certain way.
At this point Im too traumatized, feel it needless to try really go socializing all the while loneliness is eating me up. This is just a loop that eats away at me, each day feeling like remaining alone is a foregone conclusion. Of course even if that was fixed, I have chronic pain so I wont enjoy anything.
I want to kill myself. And if I fail there is nothing anyone can do but torture for me it. Even more of an outcast, who lost his mind.
Do you want to join our Matrix chat? It's a pretty fun and welcoming place and there's even a support channel if you need to vent.
Just fyi viewing this post from kbin there is no image or link, just your title.. :/
E: as well as letting us know where it works ok, could someone maybe also share the link? 😅E2: all good!
Can confirm this is what happens.
Also they'll burn you if you mispronounce galoshes
Or if you root for the Browns instead of the Rangers.
Or if you are too clever and know algebra.
Or if you wear weird jewelry or carry animal bones.
So yeah, groups of people are scary.
Wait a minute... *squints*
I thought the sub was atheism, would have worked too
Hey he finally came outside how nice
