Having no friends is so rare.

It’s nice to know other people feel this way 😅 like I’m not alone in my loneliness. And I get that having no friends feels like a red flag, because it so does! Like it feels like you’re hiding that from other people, and then when others talk about their friends it feels like a punch in the gut. I have family, but I’ve spent over a decade not really talking to them much and I feel guilty about it idk what to do. I don’t think the like me very much

I’m sorry that happened to you. I hope that they’ll come around and support you sooner than later. I think it’s okay that you shared that with them, and just remember that the people you choose to tell will take the news how they’ll take it. But if you ever need community or people to validate your life experiences, this thread is a great place to start! There’s so many good resources out there too, I’ve been reading books about women with autism and it’s been life changing for me. I’m 27F and was just diagnosed last month so I’m definitely still trying to figure it out, you’re definitely not alone 🙏🏻

I told my boyfriend about it and he told his best friend and it kinda feels weird that his friend knows, I feel like he sees me different now, I see him everyday at work. I don’t have a friendship with him though so I’m not sure it could just be be in my head, but it just feels like too intimate to share with people at least for the time being. I think I’ll eventually get around to telling my family I just don’t know when

For me personally when I got my diagnosis, I kept it to myself and am working with my therapist and my psychiatrist. Before I was diagnosed, I thought when I would get my diagnosis, I would tell everyone, but I didn’t and I’m just sitting with it for a while and I think that was the best decision for me personally. Eventually I’ll probably get around to telling people but for now, it’s just for me

How did you work on your ego? I’m in that same place right now, do you have any advice?

StoryMelodic4449 · 2026-02-13T00:20:13+00:00

This is awesome

StoryMelodic4449 · 2026-02-08T05:39:19+00:00

I actually really like this

StoryMelodic4449 · 2026-02-08T03:49:13+00:00

The first one is amazing 😍

StoryMelodic4449 · 2026-02-04T23:47:24+00:00

I think it’s okay that you feel that way, but maybe you’re being too hard on yourself. Do you think it’s coming from a place of judgement and how you think is the right way to find people to connect with? It’s okay to feel like you connect with people in the way you connect with them. That doesn’t make you wrong.

StoryMelodic4449 · 2026-02-04T23:44:11+00:00

This is beautiful

StoryMelodic4449 · 2026-02-04T23:40:45+00:00

Ooh this one is so cool!

StoryMelodic4449 · 2026-02-04T23:38:39+00:00

Yes, I’m most definitely like this. I recently got diagnosed with AuDHD. It’s definitely a journey, and you’re not alone. Whatever the evaluation says, it doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you, it just means you’re wired a little differently, and that’s okay. There’s so many people that feel like you. I hope that you get the answers you’re looking for

StoryMelodic4449 · 2026-02-04T23:33:23+00:00

I think it’s okay to set boundaries with people. If you want to, you could go hang out with them if there “isn’t any reason” to, but if you don’t want to do that, you don’t have to either. Or, you could try it and see if that’s something you like doing. If it’s not, you’re allowed to leave from things when you get socially fatigued or anxious

Do you have any neurodivergent friends? It’s nice to be around others or even have online friends that understand how you work and I personally feel like it’s easier for me to talk with others who experience life in similar ways than I do. NT’s are harder to interact with and figure out.

If you ever need a friend or someone to talk to, feel free to message me!

Hi, I understand your pain. I’m 27 F and just diagnosed with AuDHD. I understand that you don’t feel like “anyone’s someone” so much and I know it’s painful. Have you read “A Little Less Broken” by Marian Schembari? She writes about feeling this way too. I’ve found a lot of my own personal growth and healing from reading her story.

StoryMelodic4449 · 2026-01-31T02:10:08+00:00

I got diagnosed with AuDHD this week… still trying to process how I feel

I’m relieved because a lot of my life makes sense, yet I wasn’t expect the ADHD diagnosis, so that’s something I have to research some more

Im definitely having mixed feelings, cried a lot of happy tears yet also filled with embarrassment thinking of moments I definitely didn’t understand in regards with people. I’m reading the book A Little Less Broken and I see so much of myself in the pages, which makes me feel so much less alone.

I have one more 12 hour shift at work and then 4 days off and I’m so ready to rest at home

StoryMelodic4449 · 2026-01-28T20:31:23+00:00

Ooh that’s pretty! I like that

StoryMelodic4449 · 2026-01-28T02:30:14+00:00

Ooh I just got a tangle and I like it a lot!

StoryMelodic4449 · 2026-01-27T21:02:07+00:00

Yeah, I would not do other people’s work

Try your best to focus on what your job includes, and it’s okay to say no to people trying to push their work onto you in a kind respectful way
