I’m an only child and when I was younger my mum was with me every day because she didn’t work. We were very close and I think I got used to feeling emotionally “held” by her.I struggled to make friends but was so close to her that it wasn't a big deal.

Now things changed a lot. My parents mostly talk about work, practical things, or everyday stuff and I often feel emotionally lonely around them even when we’re together. When I try to talk or explain it, they usually respond with advice or frustration instead of emotional understanding, which makes me withdraw more and just doing anything to get out of house like doing course,going to gym when mum is at home,walk,shopping,swimming and looking for a job.

Why do so many Labello formulas feel changed lately? A lot of them barely have any scent anymore and the texture feels weirdly plastic/waxy compared to how they used to feel. Am I imagining this or did they reformulate a bunch of products

I had two brief encounters with the same man in different places (a quiet path and later a shop), and I’m not sure if I’m overthinking it or if it was just awkward eye contact.

First time, I saw him on a narrow quiet path. He suddenly looked up and had a fixed grin while passing me. He kept eye contact for about 10 seconds from about 10m all the way he passed me.As his smile was unnatural I slowed down but tried not to show fear.

Second time, I saw him again in a shop at the till. I was about to put groceries on the till but I felt staring sensation.He stared at me for a few seconds even after I noticed him. I felt uneasy and ended up moving away to another till.

He didn’t speak to me or approach me either time.

I can’t tell if I’m reading too much into it because the first encounter already made me feel on edge, or if the eye contact in both situations was actually unusual.Would appreciate outside perspectives

I sometimes feel like neurotypical people dislike or dismiss me, especially when I talk about my health or emotions. I’m wondering if other people who suspect they’re autistic or feel socially different experience this too.

How do you tell the difference between actual hostility and just misunderstanding or different communication styles? I feel very sensitive to rejection and I’m trying to understand whether I’m reading situations accurately.

Does anyone else get really confused by verbal instructions and then feel stupid afterward?

Today my dad was trying to explain something on a video call about the TV and I got completely mixed up and started looking in the wrong place. He reacted like I was hopeless and now I feel embarrassed.

Lately I’ve also noticed I don’t really feel pleasure or interest in things I used to enjoy

I’ve kind of always been like this — hyperactive, overwhelmed by instructions sometimes, irritable when people explain things too fast, etc. I’m wondering if I have low iq?.

Had a weird interaction today. A man walking toward me kept a fixed toothy smile from about 10m away until he passed me. His eyes were shadowed because his eyes are deep set which made it feel uncanny to me. I got uncomfortable, slowed down a lot, and probably looked visibly tense. Right as we passed very close to each other, he briefly glanced at me while still smiling.

It was probably nothing, but the whole interaction felt strangely intense and stuck in my head afterward. Has anyone else had random stranger interactions like this where nothing actually happened but it still felt unsettling and what is the reason for his behaviour?I tried to look fearless I hope he didn't saw my fear.

Today in class I got really anxious because of a fly buzzing around. I have a strong fear of flies and buzzing insects, so I reacted quickly and used fly spray. Some people laughed at me, including a teacher, and it made me feel embarrassed.

I know it might look strange from the outside, but for me it’s a strong anxiety reaction, not just annoyance. Has anyone else experienced people not understanding a specific fear like this? How do you deal with it?
