We’re autistic, and one of the characteristics of being autistic is that we feel things deeply. On the positive side, when we are happy, we feel immense joy compared to others. On the negative side, we feel painful emotions more strongly than others as well. Because of this, many of us have been invalidated, insulted, or pushed away when all we were wanting was to share what we were going through and get support. Maybe even a really tight hug and someone telling us that it makes sense that we feel that way.
While we can’t give hugs, we can help each other by sharing our pain and having others help us through it. So here is that post. What’s bothering you? Why? Tell us.

Wait people are getting upset with you for being negative about destiny? Lol that game is god awful… coming from a die hard day one destiny player
The remaining player base is rife with toxic positivity. I’m a former destiny addict, but I quit a long time ago, and so did most of the people I used to play with. The game sucks now, and it’s not coming back.
Yeah all the clans I’ve been in always end up very insular (ie only play with a select few people) and since I play a lot solo (due to anxiety and not wanting to screw others over by messing up even if I’m a good player) I find fault with stuff. And when I bring up those issues I’m always told I’m being too negative or some such. Like this Dawning has some major issues and I brought some of them up today and had to try to say it nicely.
