do u feel accepted

Post Reply New Topic

By humans, mostly no. The situation in which I feel the most accepted is when I'm around animals. There are certain animals I know who have shown me more love, trust, acceptance and even protection than most of the humans I've known.

I have some extraordinary stories about animals who have taken me "under their wing" way more than humans have.

My point is....you'd be in an environment where people mind their own business, and do their own thing.

Then I realized....that I'm such an Aspie....you were probably being witty.

On here, yes
At school and in real life, no

GENERALLY-speaking, YES----but, I don't really care what people think of me.

SPECIFICALLY-speaking, NO; I'm not usually accepted by people I work with, and I care a LITTLE bit----or, at least, TRY to ACT like I do----but only cuz I want to keep my job.

I feel that I've been getting a great deal of acceptance by friends and strangers in my community since I've started wearing my helmets in January. I feel that my family is more accepting of me now than they were even just 2 months ago.

It's like that old saying, "Be yourself and people will like you more."

For me it depends on who the people are that I might feel accepted or rejected by. I seem able to get on with pretty much anybody, but I notice differences in outlook and perspective that are often so great that I wouldn't last long if I had to live among them indefinitely. I can only stay accepted at all with them by hiding a lot of who I am, and that's a very empty experience for me, because to me they're not really accepting me, they're accepting a mask I feel I have to wear to keep them sweet. Luckily there have been people with whom I've needed to do very little masking, and it's with them that I feel accepted in a much more profound way. Of course it's rarely completely binary, most individuals are somewhere along a line between the two extremes.

The question is hard for me to answer because I don't approach many people, I very rarely ask to hang out with them socially, so I don't often find out whether they'd accept me or not, because I don't often give them anything to accept or reject. I don't really look for friends, I just wait until either they find me or circumstances (such as a common interest, especially in music) push us together and we find out whether or not it works. I don't think I've ever so much as sent a Facebook friend request. I guess, considering how non-proactive I am in that respect, I must be reasonably popular and likeable, or I'd be completely alone, and I'm not.

No

I am sometimes accepted if I pretend to be a NT, but that's just acting and it's very tiring.

If I'm 'me' I'm absolutely not accepted, anywhere or by anyone - including my husband.

My entire life is a fake act.

No, bc who I am is not accepted by society.

Abused, scapegoated, rejected and even avoided are words I'm more familiar with.

With a lot of guts, grit and determination I'm slowly learning to accept myself though.

In very small capacities, yes. In general NO

Particular people or small groups that are able to open up and EMBRACE

On the whole, don't feel I can be my authentic self and be accepted. True with folks I technically should be able to feel that way around, but it just isn't.

I get along extremely well with animals
