i tried making small talk yesterday Anonymous 06/13/25 (Fri) 12:57:53 AM122664

i'm a confirmed autist.
i know my parents want me to be more social, so i've been trying to at least make some small talk.

last night i went to eat dinner with them.
my dad asked how my day was. i said it was good and asked how his was.
he responded by mimicking my voice in a mocking tone.

i didn’t say anything, and just went back to my room.
i made ramen on my hotplate and went to bed.

this morning my mom told me she called him out for it.
he got pissy and said i was "disrespecting him" with my tone.
then he got angry at her for defending me and left for a while.

i asked my mom why she wanted to be with someone like that for the rest of her life and she just said "relationships have highs and lows."
just thinking about it makes me depressed.

> try to do what people want
get mocked
> don't do what people want
disappoint them

what’s the point.

I'm sorry nona, your father was rude and a jerk to you. If he lives with you in the same house, he must have already noticed that you are a shy person without much social skills, so he is being cruel, but at least you have your mother to defend you. Keep trying, because you need to get out of this house ASAP. Be polite and make people think that you really find them interesting, it makes life a lot easier (I'm schizoid and have a lot of difficulty in relationships, acting like this helps me a lot). But nona, do you work? Do you have any education or anything planned for the future? It's really bad to live with such a horrible person.

college in the fall!
i am very excited to live away from home, but nervous because i will be having two roommates, who i am ~2-3 years older than.

i will be working this summer, as well as during the school year to hopefully pay for additional schooling and maybe living on my own in the future.
i will be studying biology for future biotech work.

i would not call either of my parents horrible people, but both seem to have large mood swings that sometimes catch me off guard.

thank you for the kind words nona, your advice about people-ing is very helpful.

I think I overdid it, but in your text, it seemed like your father was a bit of a pain in the ass. Well, it's a good thing you're going to college, at least you'll get a change of scenery.

Another thing that helps in dealing with people is not giving them too much importance, seriously. Most people are normies who will just pass you by, there's no reason for you to be too anxious about anyone in this world.

At a certain point you'll be old enough that your parents stop giving a fuck about your lack of friends and social inadequacies. Some of us are just incapable.

I'm sorry, anon. There's nothing worse than having parents, especially a mother, who you can't talk to or vent to. I have the feeling that most boomers and X's are completely insensitive. I don't even bother talking to any of them. But were you trying to vent just about work or about something else too?
