do you get taken advantage of?
People see weakness and see what they can get out of you.
and It's something to do with not being able to tell when people are lying and not knowing what their intentions are.
and I sort of have an "oh well" attitude to money and when I lend it out I don't really care If i get it back of not.
Not really. Not much, anyhow.
I tend to take everything that comes out of a neurotypical's mouth (or fingers) as lies or idiocy (wrong by design or wrong by accident) until proven otherwise. And I don't encounter enough other Aut-Kin in person for that to really come into play. I also have become so paranoid of intentions that I have to constantly remind myself that there isn't a conspiracy among the entire population to make my life hell... and they just f**k me over because they're idiots who don't know any better than being perpetual douchebags. Hanlon's Razor and all that...

Capitalism is a system of placing a man's potential & power on phony objects. But power requires responsibility, and money, regardless of how much it is pretended, in capitalism is awarded to conformists (absent minded opportunists and followers). Even worse, the most money is awarded to the most ruthless: Men who never tire of charm and conquest. The system has long ago been invented, endorsed, created, and democracy bribed by unseen networks of rich sociopaths. Inheritance laws ensure even more useless people inheriting power.
Ruthlessness & charm is called success and good business tactics, but it's predatory. These men learn to keep others simple minded and believing, worshipping, following, slaving away and proud, promoting the cause.
Autistic people avoid eye contact, so they are not addicted to the warmth of conformity that transfers through the soul lamps. Thus, the autistic individual believes in the false witchcrafts of the predator's games and sorceries: The language, images, etc. that are used to seduce their audiences of sheep.
The sheep follow the predators for sustenance, and believe reality is about conquest; the autistic individual begins naive, and then realizes the sheep are mimicking and believing predators, having themselves become predatory and empowering all who rival the power, revering the wicked.
The autistic individual learns that his purity and naivety is greatly distressed when reality doesn't match the stories narrated of reality and goodness. He begins to feel agitated; he believed the supposed morals, while the sheep follow the eye-contact of allegiance and conformity, fighting, competing, taking advantage and opportunity to get ahead.
The autistic individual self reflects in his own world; he observes the information more objectively, and notices incongruity. The predator's sheep seek power and faux success, based on the witchcraft of the system; they take advantage of the autistic individual because he is an easy target, believing in object virtue presented superficially by the predators at the top to seduce the audiences.
Eventually he realizes that the virtue is only a long, long line of tyrannical lies, and that the system is overrun by swindlers (charmers, narcissists, prostitutes, liars, thieves, actors, salesmen, whatever you call it), and that the indoctrinated sheep are trapped in the structure of disguised immortality, unable to break free because they depend on eye contact (seeing eye-to-eye, rather than objectively).
I used to have a coworker/friend that told me one day "It makes me mad that people here always take advantage of you". I have no idea what he was talking about. Made me reevaluate relationships.

I've been taken advantage of too much I'd say. I used to be pretty easy to fool because I trusted people too much, which lead to a majority of them using me for something or backstabbing me. Now, it's lead to the point where I don't trust anyone except maybe two people. People are so cruel.
All the time and it's entirely my own fault. I am always obsequious towards others because I do not know how to say "no" or "I can't" when something is asked of me.
I lend (or perhaps that should be give) money when I shouldn't.
I apologise incessantly for reasons that are unknown even to this day.
And I am rather gullible as I interpret things literally a lot of time.
