So I’m scared that I might be coming off as weird to other people and I might either have adhd or if not that probably on the spectrum. I’m scared that my facial expressions might be weird or that the way I walk or stand is weird and that other people might be judging me. I feel like me caring about how I come off probably makes me come off as weird to other people. I do notice that when I’m not anxious and when I’m mentally calm i act more normal and I don’t come off as that weird but it’s when I’m anxious that makes me probably come off as weird. How do I not care about how I come off and just be confident within myself ? submitted by /u/Intelligent-Road5091

It gets easier as you get older, and I think that’s down to the realisation that life is too short for worrying about what you think other people think. Obviously if you’re at work you are being paid to adopt certain behaviors, but as long as you can say you are working to acceptable objectives you will be ok to just be yourself. If it helps get a proper diagnosis then your employer will need to make adjustments for your needs. Outside of work go and find groups of other autists and neurodivergents, it is so much more relaxing than mixing with NT’s. And as Morrissey said before he became a dick, why should I give valuable time to people who don’t care if I live or die.
