I feel like nothing I do or belives matter to the minds of NT people

I feel like no matter what the subject is, NT people always say I'm in the wrong, and it has zero logic to anything.

One of my biggest issues with NT people is goddamn music. If I'm inside your house? Fine. If I'm out in public and someone's playing music over other music, I think that shit is rude, but whatever. But my problem is: if I'm in an apartment and I can hear my neighbor's music — THAT'S A PROBLEM!!! And NT people will REFUSE to accept that it's not only rude but shouldn't be allowed to blast music so much, claiming, 'It's their apartment, they should be allowed to play music,' and ignore the exact same argument: 'It's my apartment, I'm allowed peace and quiet.'

Quiet doesn't go into someone else's home. LOUD MUSIC DOES!!! Yet NT people will always say, 'Oh, you're toxic and problematic,' and this goes on way past music!

Whatever fucking problem I have, NT people have the fucking balls to say I'm the problem when they are fucking with my shit and my life that has NOTHING to do with them — and mock my feelings and emotions, knowing damn well I'm autistic and there's nothing to do about it!

I can't go to the police. I can't go away. I could use violence, sure, but that would work for what? All of 20 minutes before the cops come to lock me away?

How the hell can an autistic person live in this goddamn world today? It's outrageous.

NT people can't even follow basic rules. I was in court — this woman refused to give up her phone, so they put her in prison — yet I'M the unreasonable one?! How the fuck does that make sense?

Some old asshole came up to me at a coffee shop. The barista said my order: black coffee and a cinnamon roll. The old asshole said, 'That cinnamon roll is good — I took a bite out of it,' then laughed. I literally rolled my eyes and didn't laugh. The asshole then grabbed my shoulder and tried shaking me. I pushed him back. I was ready to fight. Yet everyone acted like I was over the line! YOU DON'T TOUCH PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW. All I wanted was my damn cinnamon roll and to leave. I don't care if he wanted to laugh with me — I don't know him, and I didn't want to know him. Touching anyone without consent is assault! That's the actual goddamn definition of it, yet people still act like it's okay 'cause he's a weak old man.

Seriously, how the fuck am I supposed to live like this? These aren't even huge things! They are basic politeness you need in civilization. Is it just because I'm in America?

I used to daydream of moving to Germany because the stereotype is they're reserved and don't like humor. Sounds bloody lovely to me! Only for me to turn into a teenager and realize that's just a stereotype. Now I'm almost 30 and people are openly and proudly racist again.

Sorry mate I just had to rant. Im so feed up

Am I wrong to call this bullying austics?

So I'm autistic and something I can't process is jokes.

I got into it with someone on a hypothetical subreddit. I can't remember what it was fully about but I said something along the lines of "your wife shouldn't want you to die if they die"

The person I said that to commented he asked his wife, she said "aww" to him explaining how he doesn't want to live without his wife, and mocked me. Then continued to say "this person is taking it too seriously" AFTER I asked "are you being serious?" to which he replied yes. However in his last comment about me taking it too seriously he made it clear that he wasn't being serious even after I asked if he was.

It was then I realized even if people say yeah they are being serious they aren't.

So IRL I would explain to people, I don't process jokes and if I ask if you're being serious I am seriously asking.

Now if I explain this to people, and they still 'joke' after I explain this and ask them this, I consider this bullying because they are fully aware that I have a mental illness and can't process jokes and I also consider it making fun of ME for being unable to process jokes.

I explained that I can't process jokes, I explained if I ask if they are being serious I expect an honest answer and not to joke about it because I don't understand. I can't process it.

Theres been times at work where this happened and I didn't realize they were joking so I became angry because the situation didnt make sense logically. only to realize later they were doing it on purpose. A example of this would be like in the Big Bang Theray when Sheldon would explain his longer version of Rock Paper Scissors over and over again because he asked him too until Leanord told him he was fking with him. They would do the same thing then say "you take things to seriously man" then laugh it off or I would ask if they are being serious the say yes and never explain they aren't and I wouldnt realize until I explain it to someone else.

Now if this isnt bullying Id like someone to explain how it isn't, im talking about real life im referring towards in the work place. yes nothing phyiscal is being done but verbal harrassment is still harrassment so I fail to understand how this is allowed if im wrong

Core Concept

5 players, 5 rounds.
Start with 100 coins. End with the most coins.
Between rounds, players can talk freely, form secret alliances, and create binding contracts to transfer coins.
Cards — one per player per round — twist or break those contracts in unexpected ways.

Main Screen Layout (Mobile)

Area Element Function
Top Left 💬 Main Chat Icon Opens group chat with all 5 players. Always visible to everyone.
Below Main Chat ➕ Plus Icon Create or join a private chat. Requires agreement from all invited players. Can be 2, 3, 4, or all 5 players (but 5-player private chat is just a second main chat).
Top Right 🪙 Coin display Shows your current coins. Starts 100.
Center ⏲ Large Timer Counts down in real time to round end.
Center (below timer) Round number Small text: Round X / 5
Bottom Left 🤝 Deal button Propose or accept a contract. Specifies coin amounts from each player to each other. Binding — cannot be broken unless a card says otherwise.
Bottom Right 🃏 Card icon Play one card per round (if you have any). Cards affect contracts, coins, or rules.

Contracts (Deal Button)

  • A contract is a binding agreement between 1–4 other players (minimum 2 total players, max 5 total).
  • Example: “Player A gives 30 coins to Player B. Player C gives 10 coins to Player A.”
  • All players in the contract must have the coins at the moment the contract is signed.
  • Coins are transferred immediately when the contract is accepted by all parties.
  • Breaking a contract is impossible unless a card explicitly allows it. → This is key: players cannot just decide to betray a deal. Betrayal requires rare card power.

Cards

  • Each player starts with a small collection of cards (e.g., 3 random common cards, 1 rare). Cards are permanent across games/lobbies unless used or stolen.
  • One card played per round max.
  • No one can see your hand unless a card effect reveals it.
  • Card effects can include (examples):
    • "Void: Cancel one contract you are part of — no penalty."
    • "Extortion: Steal 15 coins from any player who signed a contract this round."
    • "Amend: Change the coin amounts in one contract by ±10 (must still be payable)."
    • "Reverse: You and target player swap final coin totals at round end."
    • "Sealed Envelope: You and one other player secretly swap one card from hand."
    • "Spy: See another player's hand for one round."
  • Used cards are discarded permanently.
  • Stolen cards (by another card effect) are lost permanently from your collection.
  • Gained cards (by trade or contract) are permanently added to your collection.

Private Chats (+ Icon)

  • Anyone can invite any subset of players to a private chat.
  • Invited players must accept to join. No one else can see messages.
  • If a private chat has ≥3 players, that chat also allows deals and card negotiation only among those members (but main deals still exist).
  • Private chats are not logged or saved between rounds — perfect for betrayal planning.

Round Structure (5 Rounds)

  1. Start of Round: Timer begins (e.g., Short Game 1h per round. Ranked Game 24h per round).
  2. Chat & Negotiate: Main chat + private chats active. Players propose deals.
  3. Deal-making: Any player can create a contract at any time. Once all parties agree, coins transfer instantly.
  4. Card Play: One card per player per round. Played anytime before timer ends. Card effects resolve immediately.
  5. End of Round: Any unresolved pending deals expire. Round number increases. If Round 5, game ends → winner is highest coins.
  • Use this template: Game Title: Playable Link: (NA) Platform: (Phone/Tablet/Computer) Description: () Free to Play Status: Involvement: (In Game Purcheses)
    • [ ] Free to play
    • [ ] Demo/Key available
    • [ ] Paid (Allowed only on Tuesdays with [TT] in the title)

Progression & Collection

  • Cards you keep across games. You can build a powerful deck over many lobbies.
  • Cards used in a game are gone from your collection (even if you win).
  • Cards stolen are also gone from your collection.
  • Cards traded in contracts change ownership permanently across games.
  • No pay-to-win: All cards are earned via gameplay achievements or market trades (optional suggestion).

Why This Works (Hook for players)

Element Emotional hook
Private chats Feels like backroom politics. Real friendships vs. temporary alliances.
Binding contracts Removes chaos. Betrayal requires a card, not just a broken promise.
Permanent cards High stakes — using a rare card feels meaningful. Losing one hurts.
5 rounds only Intense, rapid, replayable.
No shared hands Perfect information only exists if you cheat via cards/trust.
