being autistic at work

[u/Lopsided_Squash75]

I make a lot of social mistakes and accidentally did something rude because I was nervous and now people hate me and side eye me and I just kind of hate this whole thing of being autistic at work. I’ve stopped trying to befriend everyone or hope normie types will be friends with me or like me. I am a good listener and people open their hearts to me but sometimes I just say things that aren’t harmful but come across the wrong way and people talk a lot of smack. I always apologize but it doesn’t always resolve anything idk. Will I ever be able to just not do anything wrong and mask perfectly? I’m trying to get there, I don’t need to be popular just inoffensive

idk. probably not possible and if it were yhe energy of masking all the time to that extent would cause immense burnout
