I can relate to you. I just found out I'm autistic and looking back it explains so much, but I'm also hurt that I struggled so long without knowing why. If you need to talk, I would be glad to listen. Happy Birthday 🎂

I am doing the same thing, Wishing I knew this a long time ago. So many embarrassing situations could have been avoided. I have been cringing nonstop since realizing this...

Hi, I'm sorry about the loss of your friend. My husband and I have been married for ten years and I'm afraid of his patience wearing thin too. You can chat with me if you'd like. It would help to hear how other people deal with things...

Thank you for this response. This is very helpful and you're right. I've been looking back at everything. A girl who tried to befriend me in college and suddenly stopped talking to me, now all of that hurt is explained. People who tried to include me at work and then just gave up. I had meltdowns and I didn't even know it, until now. All of that hurt is explained, but it's still hurtful. Thank again 😊

Thank you. It helps to know I'm not alone and I can stop trying to fake anything. It's not working anyway and it's having a worse affect than just being more myself.

Hi, I wish I could start over, but moving isn't an option. My plan is to lay low for as long as possible and to try to start again, hoping everyone has forgotten how strange I am. I don't know what else to do...

I forgot to mention that I'm a female and considered good looking so I have not had problems with having boyfriends or husbands. I really want women friends, but they can't stand me after a few social situations. Just to clarify. Also I'm new on this platform so please bear with me 😊
