So #autistic CoSo, I have a question. For a while now, I feel like I'm having a harder time speaking. Not physically or like I can't find the words, but just sort of a reluctance I guess. I type a message and delete. I delete more than I ever send. I may not post this. It's not just digitally either. In person I'm feel like I'm wading through a thick gelatin and words have to be pushed through. Is this relatable at all? Burnout maybe? It's not so much around my family but everyone else.
@Bahsyla Could be the beginning of Burnout. I also would look into Overload, meltdown, and shutdown. Could be a low-level rejection sensitivity. You can communicate with close family, yet the next social levels are iffy. The next question is what are you feeling when you don't want to send a message?
@bonzo I do that sometimes too, especially when I'm nervous.
@Hobbs_Hawthorn @Bahsyla i am usually the opposite - ie talk all the time with no filter, but the rsd kicks in later and my head does a number on me about how i came across and how self-centred/boring/manic/crazy/[any negative thing] i must have sounded and no wonder no-one likes me...
