Read somewhere that for some people guilt is the default emotional response - like, the first emotional response to any situation where it’s not clear what the emotion should be, so those people always feel guilty, not necessarily understanding what for.

The thing is, I simultaneously feel guilty all the time for everything that happens (my kid keeps telling me ‘why are you apologizing again? It had nothing to do with you’ - because sometimes I apologize automatically when I see something is going wrong with someone/something around me) - and feel habitual frustration for others blaming me for everything.

Like, part of me doesn’t understand why am I blamed for the things that were not my fault - but another part always assumes that somehow it actually was my fault after all, and that if I can’t see how - I’m even more guilty

I wonder if that has anything to do with being #neurodivergent - and that famous #autistic incapability to recognize emotions(which I always denied) really sets the guilt as a default response until the correct emotion is processed, or it is a totally unrelated thing that has more to do with previous life experiences than with #autism

For those of you who may not know. It would appear as if the Guppe groups are down for good. Apparently the bloke who ran it got knifed in the back by the domain being sold to another ahead of schedule and before he could renew it. Whether he will be able to get it back up and running in another way, I don't know.
Fedigroups run a similar service, for those interested. I tagged the autistic one above. https://about.fedigroups.social/home
I'm not sure how widespread this information about the Guppe groups is yet. But, for those of you who us it a lot, whether for autism, or anything else, it may not be the worst idea to post something similar to this to your followers and help spread the word.

MUTUAL AID - $30/400

Hello all, it's your friendly neighborhood mod Glitch and I am in need of some help!

I am a trans nonbinary neurodivergent disabled individual (ME/CFS, trigeminal neuralgia, degenerative disc disease) who is unable to work and I am still in the process of trying to get disability benefits.

I am raising funds to cover groceries items that my EBT won't cover, cat food/cat litter, personal care and hygiene items, and a couple of bills that are due this month as well as some other expenses. Help is greatly appreciated!
