I hardly recognize the intentions of other people. I often realize too late when people want to take advantage of me or are not well-disposed towards me.

Because of this, I learned to perceive strangers as a danger which is causing me anxiety and stress. This is especially an issue when strangers are approaching me. For some reason I don’t have much issues to approach others myself.

I’m not sure how much of this is related to my autism. Can someone relate to this? Is there anything I can do about this?
