Is it normal to pretend to be mildly autistic so people will leave me alone

I am already "socially awkward" but this does not stop some people, because physically I appear normal (as in, not ugly). I've started to adopt some autistic behaviors to sort of throw them off the trail, like avoiding eye contact. I know this is considered a social faux-pas, and I used to avoid doing anything like that, but I just don't even care anymore if half the people I know would realize I don't give a shite about satisfying their social needs and just leave me alone. IIN?

    As someone who is genuienly mildly autistic & not openly 'ugly' as you stated it, nothing on this site has had me screaming 'WOOWWWW' as this one, & I just finished reading "Do you ever get so bored you want to harm others."

    What the Fuck dude.

    I guess I relate to an extent. But part of it is I'm not in a great spot. Keeping to myself helps me from overextending myself

    What trail are you trying to throw them off? Sounds as if you're deliberately isolating yourself from others: why?

      Hmm well I guess I am "emotionally retarded" or something but I have no interest in relationships as much as everyone around me seems to.

    Avoiding eye contact doesn't work, people still talk to me

      They still talk to me too but it's funny then to make them wonder why I'm not looking at them
