    So…apparently one of the girls at my Uni in a friend group of mine thought I was hitting on them and it made them uncomfortable.

    I feel so stupid. I didn’t even know I was. We’ve made up. But now I’m afraid that I’ve made other people uncomfortable. I don’t understand why i don’t work. Why can’t I just be normal?

      its not necessarily your fault, some people think that having a normal conversation is being flirty.

      Yeah, apparently i am considered “flirty” and i have no idea how to flirt. It was not uncommon to have a random person flirt with me because they thought i was already flirting with them the entire time lol

      Apparently my autistic ass trying to not have a boring conversation is making people blush and you might have the same problem. Is there maybe a way that you can kind of loudly exclaim this being a problem for you so that the people around you know what’s up at least? My friends know of my unconscious “flirting”

      It might also entirely be their issue of being too sensitive as well. If this doesn’t happen more often to you then i think she might be the problem here.

      One time I was at a party and a girl was flirting with me and I didn’t know it and apparently I was acting flirty back. She left to go get a drink or something. I got into another conversation and 20 minutes later I left the party because I was done being around people.

      The next day everyone gets mad at me because she had been looking for me and then got upset and ruined the party. I saw her a few days later and tried to apologize and she started yelling at me in front of a service station. and like a half dozen people stopped talking to me for the rest of the summer.
