Hello, I am new here.
I am undiagnosed but have been suggested as probably being on the spectrum by my therapist. So I thought maybe this could be a good place to explore this issue I’ve noticed recently.
I mean stuff like personal appearance? It’s fine, nobody will say anything negative and I know that, but thinking about changing my beard style or removing it all together or I’m a little bored with some of my clothing. But thinking about doing something about it, I just know everyone will have to address it and ask the same questions or make the same comments about it and, I don’t know, like feel mentally exhausted just thinking about it.
Does anyone else experience this? It feels incredibly silly and annoying.
Similar with my hair. I basically do nothing at all to it for 2+ years, it gets really long, I get sick of it and cut it all off. But I absolutely dread all the comments. ****ing everyone has to make a big deal of it. Repeat every two years for the past 15 or so.
Depending on your situation, maybe if you got your hair cut more often it won’t be such difference.
People are commenting on the drastic difference, not that you got your hair cut I find.
If you get it cut every couple of months (or even less) then people probably won’t notice except for those that are either close, or NT themselves.
