This. I've been abused and bullied because I've been seen as "easy pickin's".

[kisekileia]

Agreed.

[squidger]

Abuse isn't about what the victim did. Men don't abuse women because they fail to read body language. They do it because they're abusive.

Exactly what I was going to comment on.

[simoriah]

Ditto x infinity.

[basepair]

This needs to be on billboards everywhere

[donsakers]

Great point and very well-said.

[foundunicorn]

Ok another question, how much of it we can’t tell that the other person is a abuser, and how much of it that abuser seek out us.

[foundunicorn]

And yet I see lots folks go for one bad relationship to another, some do eventually look for some one nice.

[satie_danser]

Yes, I do think many of us have trouble spotting predators, particularly when it comes to covert bullying, manipulation. Some of us might even come to believe that we deserve it.

Very sad.

[foundunicorn]

It's not that we deserve it, It's that it's harder for us to learn how to avoid it.

[satie_danser]

Oh, absolutely! Nobody deserves it. But I do think some people come to believe that they do. (That's not Aspie specific. Just a general comment on long duration trauma.)
