Does anyone feel guilty?

Post Reply New Topic

Yeah you can PM me if you ever feel crap, or on MSN or something. I'm not a very good person to talk to though haha
And Yoshie, don't take any notice of what Cade said.

I think I'm going to go to sleep.
It's after 5am and I will probably feel guilty tomorrow for staying in bed till the afternoon or something. I'm tired.
Bye everyone.

Good Night Soph

Yeah I feel guilty for stuff I imagine, it blows, but then I apologize, of course it's hard when the person ignores you, I understands Star's sadness, I had a girlfriend who when she was offended, she would lock herself in a room, or when on the phone, she'd hang up, for the stupid reasons... and you feel bad, but I know now, if they can't discuss it, it's best to move on, because them not wanting to talk about it with you Star, is selfish, you may have offended him, but the suffering he is causing you is childish by avoiding to give you closure,

Thanks everyone.


But now I feel like a dumbass. He was at the store but he didn't tell me he was leaving because he thought I was angry with him. And I almost hurt myself because I was being stupid.

Don't worry about it. Miscommunication is a normal problem with AS. At least you still love your boyfriend and that he still loves you. So, you are not stupid. It's a normal mistake when you have AS. I have that same problem all the time.

I AM guilt. It's part of my very being. I'm ruled by it.

My mom's always telling me I'm such a good kid (though I'm 19), but no matter what I always feel like the vilest person on the planet, and I wish she'd stop saying that because I feel like I'm deceiving her

I tend to feel guilty for no reason at all.

I often feel guilty. I make mistakes sometimes or get jumbled up because of my AS and other issues, and then I feel really stupid and angry at myself afterwards, and very guilty, because I know that I am an intelligent person, so why do I just keep making silly mistakes, and not even realise what I'm doing?

girl7000, I remember that as question on a AS quiz I've taken before...I'm pretty sure... making silly mistakes...like getting wires crossed in your head for a split second... eg. going for the tomato sauce on the table and knocking over the salt on the way through, and just not thinking

another one of those things to be proud of?

vile people, the ones I've known Pheno, just do what they want, no guilt at all, so your not vile,

I feel for you. I go through this constantly, in person and online. When that happens, just try to not catastrophize it and do your best to distract yourself until you can get a chance to explain everything to the person. As you just experienced, half the time they have no idea how upset we are about something we said or did. They're too busy trying to figure out what they did to piss us off.

Right now I feel like crap because I was rude to a cashier at Barnes & Noble. I was buying my mom the Tony Attwood book for her birthday, and I could feel the cashier staring at me. I could tell she wanted to say something, but I just kept looking down. Finally she says in this extreme-NT voice, that kind of singsong, tell-me-your-troubles type of Oprah-viewer voice, "did you see that movie Mozart & the Whale?" I said, "uh, yeah...I star in it." She just stood there holding my stuff, staring at me with her mouth open. And I finally said "yeah, it was an ok movie. They did ok with it, I guess." She said, "yeah, it was ok..." and I grabbed my bag from her and walked out. Now I feel really bad for being so rude. But I hate when that type of person asks me something like that, because I could tell she was tiptoeing around me and trying to be "sensitive." That infuriates me! An older cashier at the same store once saw me buying an Asperger book and said "oh, the disease du jour! What makes you think you have this?" I just cackled and said "my doctor!" We ended up having a good talk about it.

So I want to stop being so nasty to clueless but well-meaning NTs. That girl seemed to maybe know someone with AS, or at least be interested in the topic. So I missed a chance to maybe clue her in, and instead I actually blew up at her for her "sensitivity". Arrrghhh.

I only feel guilty for things worth feeling guilt for.
