I love when they hint at something that they talked about behind your back. Bitch we all know you're making fun of me right now. Some people a just terrible company.

Oh god avoid those people

Sometimes I pretend to take sarcasm or joke statements seriously because I don't know how to react to it otherwise.

Me too. Also I'll often do the opposite where I make a joke but with no tone change to indicate it as such. People will either get mad at me for being wrong or else they will praise my brilliant deadpan humour.

yooooooo! Before I found out I'm autistic, I asked a friend if I had any toxic traits/patterns/behaviors. He said that the only thing he could think of was that quite often, people can't tell that I'm joking. According to him, people have to get to know me for a while until they recognize my humor. If they didn't know me, then I would come off like a complete jerk. This is probably why people would call me an "asshole" so often at parties.

People who scoff or laugh a little and want you to ask what's so funny or interesting. Not on the Spektrum but I ignore them because I hate that shit.

If I am asked politely, with a please and thank you, to do something I have no problem with it 99% of the time.

But if you just drop hints, are rude AF, or straight up demand something, even if I get the hint it makes me not want to do whatever it is you want.

Deestan OP ,

Person: "sigh"

Me: ...

Person: "SIGH" makes eye contact with me

Me: Okay they want something. They are standing over there by the shelves. They are holding a box. Did they take it from the shelf? Or are they putting it back? Probably putting it back, or they would have left with it. Or is it too heavy to walk with? It looks a bit heavy but not that heavy. Maybe they are struggling to put it back in the shelf? Surely they are strong enough if they brace properly. But there is no other reason to just stand there and look helpless? They are probably asking for help in lifting the box up even if they are capable. It is probably some social courtesy thing and they want me to show I like them by offering to help. Yes. That makes sense. Do they expect me to ask if they need help, or just run up and take it from them? Probably not run. Walk casually. Actually, asking if they need help is safest. That is the correct response. ... I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS FUCKING PUZZLE WHEN THEY COULD JUST SAY help please OR SOMETHING

Them: ...?

Me: blink, smile, go back to work

And maybe they don't even want help, they just wanna be asked if they need help so they can say "no."

RedWeasel ,

I get asked if I can do a favor all the time. I am like what are you wanting first. Not about to agree until I know.
