I can't comment for certain on your specific circumstances, but for most people including the average autistic male, believing the general public hate them and want them dead would be a paranoid delusion not unlike those experienced by people who suffer from gangstalking delusions.

Even if one possesses all sorts of traits and engages in all sorts of behaviours that make them unlikable, it's rare for people to widely wish actual harm upon that person, at least once they're no longer directly feeling antagonized by that person.

What makes you so uniquely insufferable that most people would automatically escalate to wishing lethal harm against you?

Politically centrist, PTSD from SA, may have NPD (big part of why I isolate and avoid interaction as much as possible), borderline alcoholic

Call me crazy, but none of those sound like reasons to desire to engage in lethal harm against you.

In my experience, most people don't want to engage in lethal violence against anyone unless forced, and generally have high thresholds when it comes to what they'd consider adequate coercion to overcome that lack of desire.

But, I do believe there's certain tendencies that autistic people are prone to that can make us prone to reading more into our experiences with bullying and social exclusion than might be fair. Ruminating without much nuance can lead one to conclusions that go further than can reasonably be supported and can make one's mental health state worse than need be.

Maybe some, but I doubt many. I imagine a lot of people only laugh at our social clumsiness.

Most people are decent and wouldn't wish harm on you. They may want to avoid you, however. Your mindset can affect your body language, and it may be that which makes some people feel uncomfortable around you.
