How can I cope with recurring anger over recurring communication problems and intrusive memories of miscommunication?
I don't have Asperger's but I have similar communication differences (communicating literally, bluntness, unusual speech, etc.) that have created problems with people. Some of the problems happened years ago, but the memories keep popping up in my mind. I've developed anxiety around interacting with people at all, including online.
I resent people so much for never understanding what I'm saying. I put a lot of effort into communicating clearly, but they just won't stop reading into what I say, making assumptions, and projecting emotions on me that I don't feel.
I don't know how to let it go because there's no solution. This has even happened with psychology professionals, which is part of the reason why I'm afraid to seek psychological help. I have no one else to ask, no one will understand. I cannot communicate like a neurotypical, I give up, I hardly ever socialize online, and never offline, but the final task is getting over the anger, resentment, and frustration, stopping the random memories.

I meant to add that I hope it's ok to post here. I have an auditory processing deficit and communicating with neurotypicals has proven to be a lost cause, but I had more success when I socialized on an autism/Asperger's forum, and those are the people I can relate to.
