To ask what gives you a bad feeling you can’t explain about someone?

Is there anything specific or any particular ‘red flags’ that give you a bad feeling you can’t explain about someone ?

Throughout my life this has happened to me - I’ve had multiple people tell me and I’m quiet sore there are many more who haven’t told me (and there have been a couple who felt this way and I found out via a third party)

At school I struggled to make friends and was not liked and called weird etc. when very young other children would say they were scared of me and just wouldn’t play with me ?

I do have autism and I’m wondering if the fact I didn’t follow normal social rules as a child meant other children didn’t like me ? But as an adult I’m struggling as I make an effort and try to fit In but people say I give off ‘bad energy’ or there is something they ‘can’t put their finger on’
Ive had concern from professionals as my actions have been misinterpreted and innocent things seen as safeguarding issues and I just don’t know what to do ?

I just want to identify what behaviours / signs that would make people wary to make sure o don’t do any of them

I didn't realise how much I relied on non verbal communication until the pandemic and I found Teams meetings really hard.

Usually I forget the question and start ad-libbing complete shite but I was able to rein in my focus by referring to the print out.

I'd have loved printed out questions! My brain freezes under stress and I can actually go mute if I'm panicked enough.

There was one interview I went to where the two interviewers came up to get me me from reception and I actually saw them look at me and then exchange a sort of wtf glance before I'd even stood up or said anything and I have literally no idea why. Needless to say that one didn't go well.
