... and even girls half my age used to mock and "bully" me during summer and in high school (and maybe middle school too but I have vague memories about my time there unlike in high school). Even some other students from other classrooms used to mock and make fun of me (even the older ones) but I didn't notice they were mocking me, I thought they were friendly to me until I found out about all of this myself.
@GGWP I never noticed other kids getting bullied other than me. Why's that? Maybe I'm not neurotypical? Autistic perhaps? I was given a diagnosis of suspected autism as a child but my parents disregarded it, treating me as a normal boy (with the consequence of developing some traumas and psychological damage from my experience in both middle and high school). I missed a lot of romantic cues too, even during dates with other females. I have been given many diagnoses, ranging from psychosis to "suspected autism" but I don't quite feel like a schizoid since I am still that romantic person. I wish I had a girl, a companion where love was mutual. But that doesn't exist here, not in this universe most definitely.
So, am I autistic? High functioning I'd say. I have several sensitivities, like certain textures I cannot truly stand (physical pain but not actually physical pain), some food aversions (vomit) and very rigid interests (that changed right after I got off SSRIs; according to some research papers, changes made by SSRIs can actually worsen sensitivities and other pre-medication traits over time... like socialization and coping with certain sensitivities like light strength (depending on the time of the day)).
AM I AUTISTIC or NEUROTYPICAL?
