however i just ask right out if i misunderstood, so i dont think i get into those situations where everyone gets frustrated a lot?
i ask when im confused, i ask people to be patient, i have no problem with admitting that i think i have misunderstood something
but also i dont feel like this is just an autistic thing either

i think most people i interact with online are autistic and i would be lying if i said it wasn't frustrating a few times, but in those cases it's just it's a me problem and i need to step back and not let myself be frustrated at something stupid and have understanding that it is difficult sometimes, and i always feel bad when i'm not able to calm my anger and yell at people because it's not the right way to deal with frustration but i think and hope i've become better at it. it is just those tiny nuances that are automatic to some people that, in my experience, is not always something people on the spectrum are as sensitive to and that sometimes lead to misunderstandings and that sucks, but if i am better at clarifying when i can tell that i was misunderstood, it should be better? wug wrote:
