I'm so stupid I hate myself

Post Reply New Topic

My mum said that sometimes I talk about embarrassing things when we're waiting at a bus stop where there are other people waiting. By embarrassing, she means stuff that might make people think I'm strange if they hear. I asked her to give an example of what sort of things I say, but she said she couldn't really remember what sort of things I say (as we haven't got a bus for a while).

So I suppose I sound like a village idiot or something. I'm a 27-year-old FEMALE with MILD Asperger's, and yet I've only just realised that you only have to talk about limited subjects when in public in case people might be listening.

My mum was just being honest with me, so please no badmouthing my mum, and usually Aspies prefer honesty so please don't badmouth my mum for being honest. But it's made me realise how stupid I am. I don't have special interests or any certain subjects I talk endlessly about, so it's not that. I don't talk about personal stuff in public either - I knew that rule since I was a child. So I don't know what other subjects there are that are inappropriate to talk about near strangers.

EDIT: Oh, and no I do NOT say things about the other people in the bus stop, like "that woman is fat". My mum is saying that I talk about things that might make others think I'm weird, not nasty or rude.

Do you remember what you were talking about when she said that?

Now everything going with your mum?
