I am the wrong person to say this to you, and I apologize in advance.<p>My oldest son is not neurotypical. Raising him was a real challenge. When he was 8, he spent 6 weeks psychologically torturing me. He didn&#x27;t care about my feelings and he found my reactions amusing. Part of what I told him that finally got him to stop was &quot;The point at which you will care about my feelings is the point at which you want something from me and my reply is <i>No. What have you done for me instead of to me here lately?&quot;</i><p>You aren&#x27;t responsible for anyone else&#x27;s feelings. But if you routinely disrespect and offend people and then defend your right to crap on others instead of apologizing, that will have consequences for you and they won&#x27;t be ones you will like. Most people are not as forthright as I am. Most people will never tell you &quot;I am turning down your request because of all the times you were inconsiderate, insensitive, etc.&quot; They will just tell you <i>No</i> and not explain why.<p>I will suggest there may be a connection between how frustrated you seem to feel with other people and your general attitude that their feelings are not your problem. If everyone dislikes you, that can very much be a problem for you.
