My autism failos me so badly in social interaction

[lunin7]

I always look ugly when I speak my jaw always opens in a weird way

and sometimes my voice makes me sound like a fucking kid it’s so brutal

but noticing these things is what’s helping me improve my social skills

Diagnosed by a doctor?

Diagnosed by a doctor?

I’m not sure about my first diagnosis entirely but
I got rediagnosed in 2017 and a doctor pointed out that I was masking (when an autist pretends to be nt)

I’m not an autist but I can’t hold a one on one conversation with someone for more than maybe 2 minutes without it getting awkward. I honestly have no fucking idea what to talk about. Although there was a guy who I talked politics and shit with irl so more than 2 minutes, but it still got weird if it goes on for too long. That’s why I always prefer groups, it makes my lacking social abilities stand out less.

Me too I feel the same way. I just can’t talk about what normies do they just talk about normie shit

I never had many problems interacting with them but even then I never could relate cause all they ever talked about was sports or music it was so boring

Same, I hate the feeling of being looked at when I speak to someone ngl.
Imagining being them looking at me talk makes me cringe

The true reason I'm a KHHV is because women don't find me interesting, funny and seem to notice my aspieness and insecurity. With another brain I would not be here, maybe I would be in a LTR with a LTB.

Ya, my voice sounds like a kid too, that's how anyone can know if being non-NT is their problem, how they speak.

I don't know if I've ever seen it mentioned on this forum but autism = developmental delay = very high degree of neotony. Autistic people look and sound way younger than they really are.

you aren't the typical loud extroverted talkative charismatic black guy

Same, my non ntness is so brutal
