I'm trying to be okay with myself and who I am without the masking and constant rethinking of my actions.

I went out tonight with a friend dancing, we were having a good time as usual and he bumped into an old friend he had met (my first time meeting them). We exchanged hellos and then the two people essentially said I'm not "chill" like my friend and distanced themselves entirely. I guess I was too enthusiastic for them, not sure. They seemed to take well to me in the beginning but then all of a sudden scooted far away from me on the same table and were laughing and looking my direction. (My friend was in the restroom at the time).

I decided to danced alone and had a drink by myself for a while, my friend checking in here and there after I told him I felt off about the interaction. (he knows I'm autistic).

I'm embarrassed and bummed out. Is that normal behavior and I missed a big step? I felt in that moment being my true self was a dumpster fire and don't really want to try again.
