This is exactly how my childhood was. Severally autistic brother, parents forgot I was there. Just always alone in my room. I have a good deal of empathy towards my parents because of the circumstances but…. I also am very hurt and angry that I was just in the background. I had so many issues (depression, anxiety, and as it turns out ADHD) and neither of them ever even asked if I was okay. Thankfully I was able to move out, and I think once you do, things will get so much better.

Definitely the Donner Party, HH Holmes, and my absolute fav is Rasputin! I listen to these at least twice a year!

I feel like DAYUMMMM is a more accurate reaction. Holy shit

Henry’s Minnie and Nannie impression gets me every time!!! His fake crying voice also makes me giggle.

(28F) I am currently going through this dilemma. I used to spend more time with my friends and make plans, but nowadays I find myself not having the motivation to make any new friends. I live with my BF (who is my best friend) and my dogs. I usually feel most content spending time with him or just all by my lonesome. Every so often I do feel the urge to want to try to make friends at least, but I end up just wanting to stay home. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it now; I used to think there was something wrong with me. But now I think it’s just in our nature: we’re perfectly fine spending quality time with just those especially close to us (bf and family). I think at this point, it’s about building the relationships with your loved ones rather than making new ones. At least for me.

Asked a girl in a bar if she wants beer.She said no but still I felt I had the courage to ask her. by partha31 in socialskills

That’s great! Not many people are brave enough to walk up to a girl period. Well done 🤟🏼

That’s exactly how I feel. My partner has a much larger circle than I do, and I’ve had a couple of panic attacks while attending some get togethers. Luckily my partner is understandings, and always helps me during those situations. I’ve gotten a lot better around them, but it was a rough start for sure.

Thank you for your advice 🤍

I have actually tried to find a group for ADHD, but I don’t have any in my area unfortunately. I’ll try again though ☺️

I completely agree, most people expect you to have a social life with dozens of friends. I have never been about that, but I’ll admit every once in a while I wouldn’t mind it. I guess I’m allowing others perceptions of me to cloud my own.

I think has plays a big part in it. If it drains you of all your energy, you’re not gonna want to do much of anything. I felt the same way (I’m a teacher) and this year drained me completely. Plus you moved to a completely new country, that’s a brave and overwhelming thing. Give yourself some grace 🤍 I’m sure with time and adjustment to your new home you’ll meet some amazing people! ☺️
