The people out there that can openly talk to strangers without worrying about whether said stranger is part of a conspiracy to kill them, join groups even if they don't actually know anybody in the group, can somehow survive the extensive ridicule that is a common rejection, and can operate in day-to-day society without the fear that something very bad is going to happen.

Those folks are the ones that "have it easier". It's not based on gender lines or AS lines at all.

As for the OP...Maybe they have it "easier" socially and sometimes romantically, but not in every aspect of their life. For instance...I have some romantic prospects right now, but my life isn't very good overall. I would trade that part for a better quality life. Everyone has problems in their own way, and I think what you don't have in your life is what seems the most important to you, and everyone thinks they are the one who has it "hardest".

Exactly. I have some aspects of my life that some people would give a whole lot for (educational, academic success) and I am aware of that, but it does not make up for the horrible pain of interpersonal failure that I've (more or less) had all my life mostly due to AS. Likewise romantic success can't make up for other people's pain over real or perceived failures in other areas. Honestly I don't think it's productive to ask "who has it easier" because everyone has it easier in some ways and harder in others.

I guess i can relate to this. Like how people use the term "rocket science" to mean "impossible to fathom", which made no sense to me at all. But still, it's not crucial to understand rocket science to have a fulfilling life. However, humans are social animals, so to be so socially crippled and afraid like I am is problematic to my well-being.

Why do you believe those two things? One strategy you could apply here, namely the last point, is writing things down you're worried about happening, then later noting whether a worry actually happened or not.

My cats have it easy. They can nap around all day getting slowly fat. They'll always have love when they want it or need it, they'll be cared for medically, food and water will ALWAYS be there when you want it. All with them not doing anything but being cute.

I'd say that's a life I'd love.
