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!
In response to your edit, here's a link to the original post. Let me know if it doesn't work for you still!
That worked, thank you! 😁
I'm glad I saw it, since I very much relate (or used to, I can no longer physically get out much, but more importantly I cut ties with the kind of people in the last panel lol)
Glad you enjoyed it! I didn't think to include the link originally and mostly wanted to make sure OP wasn't trying to troubleshoot what's likely a platform specific issue 😅
Yeah, some people have a tough time understanding and empathizing with those with smaller social batteries in general. I would imagine that introducing a physical ailment of some sort would make that problem doubly as bad.
That makes sense about op and troubleshooting..
And yeah, especially with invisible disabilities (or those that start as such, anyway, like chronic pain and neurological conditions), it's really hard to get people to understand or believe you just can't.. But then you also get to learn who your real friends and family are, so while it sucks to go through it, it is an extremely effective filter for shit people... ¯\(ツ)/¯
It shows correctly for me on a native Lemmy account on mobile at least.
On Boost it shows correctly as well
I thought the sub was atheism, would have worked too
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*
Hey he finally came outside how nice
No freeloaders. Grab a rake.
