▲ 9 r/autism
I'll try my best to explain this, but I've had many times where people don't understand why I behave the way I behave. This could be towards a person or situation. They either get 'mad for me' or mad at me for not seeming that affected by it. What ends up happening is they only seem satisfied if I reopen or reexperience the emotions with them until they come to the conclusion I had already come to.
E.g. someone says, "x person makes me so angry. How can you tolerate them?" Or "X situation makes me so angry/angry for you. Why are you this calm?" And then they try to get me as worked up about it and only until they see for themselves do they realise why I got to that point of like radical acceptance. By then, I'm exhausted, though.
