Sophie 🏳️🌈🇬🇧 :
It’s not subtle though. They put the pressure on you to pretend you haven’t noticed and effectively ignore their mean behaviour to keep the interaction going. It’s calculated and cruel. They win either way. Either they make you ‘not fit in’ by calling it out or they get to be mean without accountability.

Astro | 🍉🏳️⚧️ :
I was once in a job interview like this. I noticed they did it because they already started out staring out of the window to where I parked so they could ask me if my car is my car. Yes, it was my car, I said. They laughed. Doing the look. I already wanted to leave but I needed a job. They started out normal with the interview but at the point where the interview normally stops they sat in silence, doing the look again, then the Boss asked me "what do you think about transparency?" so I gave them my answer, an answer where I subtly showed that I understood their game and how it was a loaded and framed question and then left. They sent me a rejection of course. Wouldn't have wanted to work there anyways.

I stay away from them as much as possible. Too stressful.

I dont say a word, I just get up and walk away. I refuse to sit in other people’s uncomfortableness anymore. If that makes them more uncomfortable, oh well. It’s a them problem and I have better ways to spend my time. 🤷🏼♀️

I say something about it openly. I say I SEE YOU LOOKING AT EACH OTHER. And then I laugh and make them uncomfortable whilst continuing on acting unfazed and this false confidence typically works.

It happened to me recently in a virtual group meeting. I was more quiet the rest of that meeting. BUT, I later talked to one of them in person and very nicely said if they don’t like something I say or do, to please be direct with me. He was embarrassed! 😊

I'm quite comfortable being with myself, so if they ignore me I just ignore them back, if they aren't willing to spend any energy for me neither am I for them. I will always make an effort, but there's many people who just won't meet you in the middle. Next!

I don’t know how to handle it and end up spiraling and going internally “crazy”

I’ve responded by not socializing.

I have no tolerance for mean girl behavior and let me tell you, the typicals immediately do this.

As an autistic person as well I don’t understand this bc we are apparently bad at understanding social cues but like I see it all… it’s just draining and now I realised it might be bc we already know about this “script” and can therefore intellectually detect it but maybe missed a few other signs that led up to that? I think I OVER mentalized social cues according to my psychiatrist. I wonder if that’s bc of masking

I act completely oblivious like everything is normal. File it in my memory bank, and note those people are weird & can’t be trusted for future reference.

make deliberate, pleasant eye contact with the most dominant woman in the room or a man and chuckle like you're sharing a joke. Everyone else becomes either confused or insecure 🤌🏼 I feel better now that we are all uncomfortable soup.

Yes, so subtle. I make eye contact with other NDs during those silly 'convos' & we inevitably start to giggle. When it's really really serious. It's our natural rebellion. It's either that or one of us gets angry. Better to laugh.

I call them out and make them as uncomfortable as they are making me and then smile

I crashed out over what people thought about me when I was young. But I’m secure in my job and all the important positions in my life are taken. So…other peoples opinion of me is none of my business. Idc.

Yup. That's when I stop talking and look for a pet, quiet room, or bail.

lost a great job bc I had to drive around and work all day with NT ppl. I tried for awhile but that side eye you spoke of speaks volumes and it always happens when u make a mistake or just try to relax and be yourself but guess u can't do that! Once that eye contact happens that's almost a point of no return unfortunately bc now you're being watched

Walk away. Go to the bathroom and cry for a bit. Remind myself that I am in the Truman Show and everyone else is a scripted character except me.

call them out. If they say something dismissive, you can say that's really dismissive and I feel disregarded as your friend.
