Do others respect you SA?

[PurpleOne]

Oops, I meant "Do others respect your SA?"

Whenever i meet a person for the first time, they are at first kind and respectful. A few months later they start to turn on me because of my quietness (SA).Then later on they become rude and disrespect towards me for no reason. I guess because I am not as talkative as everyone else. That's still no reason to be disrespectful.

Just wondering because I don't want to feel alone.

You're not alone, don't worry. It's pretty much the same for me, with people being kind and patient at first, presumably seeing me as someone who just needs a little time to open up, but can get frustrated after some time has passed and it seems as though I'm not even making an effort to be social. Back in school I lost friends over similar situations to that, me being the kind of person you can hang with when you're new, but quickly throw away once you've found someone more interesting. It hurts, but I have so little social energy or skill, that I can't really offer anything more. I can't say I know how it feels to have the disorder itself disrespected though, as I haven't really socialized since I was in school/college and back then I had no idea SA even existed. Just thought it was me being me. ::

Well people don't know I have sa (well, actually i don't want to think i actually have one, i'm not used to social environments that's all). Whenever I meet people I "know" it was just awkward and nothing just works. But who cares really.

No one does.
All it does is show weakness, and people are quick to take advantage, even subconsciously

No, I get the same thing. If you dont have SA then I think others just dont get whats up with you and may interpret it as something that its not and react to it. If you are confident and outgoing then its hard to imagine HOW someone else couldnt be....to others SA just doesnt make sense...

The important people do. The ones that don't aren't worth my time.

I've often read posts where members here claim they've found other's to be supportive. I find it very hard to believe. I have, to date, been betrayed by everyone I ever allowed into my life and those on the outside have always had an issue with me. All since I became mute. I have thought about why this could be, and in most cases, it looks like their true colours showing. You can learn a lot about a person by their behaviour towards others, and there does appear to be a trend of nastness. Not necessarily to their faces. But due to my quietness, they are more bold and will say things directly, or display their dislike for me openly. But then, given the values and immorality that are pumped into mainstream thinking through music, TV et al, I can hardly hold it against them. Self-love, pride and violence are the popular traits in all these.

Some do. Some don't.

Like you said, some people run out on me, and become very evil..
Getting rude and say mean stuff and don't want to be my friend.
But they just don't know what we are going through.
sometimes I wish they could be in our position someday, like know what we feel, and they will regret it. But I guess they won't..

But I know some really great people who do actually support me and respect my SA

SA should be the subject of the day... So people know all about SA
We don't have to explain them anymore.. Like autism, ADHD, astma, etc..
It's also something what people should know
