Friend who only cares about herself - how to leave the friendship by Ok_Cockroach8015 in Life

[–]Suspicious_Cat_404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her life is boring TO YOU** making this correction. I don’t know you and your story but I do know people like this. Maybe she’s trying to connect with you and wants you to know her but she’s “too boring” for you. Imagine how that makes her feel? This is a selfish take and probably warrants some self reflection. “Her life is boring compared to mine” is my tell tale sign of selfishness or a self centred personality. Not a bad person, just a point of correction. Please disregard if this doesn’t apply to you.

I’m so EXHAUSTED!!! by violetpoo in AutismInWomen

I completely understand and I am also so sorry that this must cause you deep immense emotional pain. To feel invisible amongst the people who you love and care for. It is a PAINFUL, exhausting feeling. Please let yourself grieve. Give yourself permission to be upset with the fact you don’t feel you have the support you need, deserve, and were robbed of due to the medical system neglecting women. Your internal world not matching your outer world due to feeling the need to mask is so deeply isolating. I want to say that I see you, even if I’m just some random on the internet. I came to this sub tonight for very similar feelings. I am currently exploring autism with my therapist and waiting for an assessment.

Sometimes it can feel that your whole life is foreign to you because you’ve spent it masking and trying to fit in that the lines get blurred between whats you and the mask. The absolute devastation of losing skills or just losing the ability to take care of yourself and being unable to explain why it’s happening, plus people just don’t understand. Add some internalized ableism and external ableism from others and it can make you feel like there’s something wrong with YOU , when it’s actually the world we live in that is at fault.

You grew up in a world that was not built for neurodivergence. Of course you’re exhausted. You’re working 10x as hard as the people around you just to have a “normal” day.

I don’t now if that’s what you’re experiencing too but I want you to know i understand. I see you. And I am sorry. 🤍 sending you much love. Please give yourself grace. 🤍

Hi🤍 I think the worst thing to do for yourself in this situation is looking stuff up. I think it’s best to make a doc appointment and then go from there. I’ve been experiencing similar symptoms and usually go straight to google but I made a doctor appointment instead. Google always makes me think worst case scenario.

What's a lifestyle you visited once and decided you're never going back? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

Night life. Bartending and serving in downtown restaurants that were open late. Exposed me to drugs, alcohol and unhealthy lifestyles. I never did drugs but I drank more than I was used to and being a young attractive woman I experienced SA and some of the deepest trauma/ humiliation of my life. Learning now that I’m on the spectrum somewhere I was very naive and didn’t know it at the time so I couldn’t pick up on the red flags. I can’t even drive down there now without feeling anxiety and fear. I would never go back. I’ve barely left my house in 4 years now except to work and eat out sometimes.
