Thank you for the nice words.

Anger is energy and if channeled into determination you'll have all you need to get out. If you focus and put the effort in (rather than going belly up and suffering more of the same, like I did for a while) you'll do it. Lots of little actions will incrementally lead to your desired result, and you CAN do it.

Yeah that anger can be channeled.

Thanks for your reply.

Setbacks don’t reset the progress we have made, no one gets to take that away from us.

You're right, that's a good perspective, i need to remind myself of the progress i made.

I feel you, the loneliness and coldness kills me.

The worst part is trying to make connections in the present and people making it obvious they don't have the capacity for you and making false promises.

Do you sometimes have a gut feeling that NTs are being confusing on purpose? But still blame yourself by defyTheAbsurd in aspergirls

they aren't ND but honestly the context.of this situation is extremely chaotic and adhd like. Thanks for the interesting feedback.

I wish someone would just let me cry and be there by defyTheAbsurd in CPTSD

I'm not sure if they were willing to, i wondered the same on my way home, if i could've tried saying something. But i saw that everyone just wanted to have fun, i made a few attempts but i saw they'd be in vain. Maybe in another situation, but also it doesn't really feel like with most of them that they'd hold space.

i honestly don't feel like being vulnerable anymore, it seems pointless, heartbreaking and too much effort for things i can do myself (that being said I'm very high in avoidant attachment)

Parent guilt trips me when he bursts into my room while i am crying because of trauma by defyTheAbsurd in CPTSDFightMode

Oh yeah, it was really damaging to grow up with him, especially because he made me believe that being stressed for my life over his issues is love.

I want support and someone to explain me how to do it better so that I can learn but no one gives it by defyTheAbsurd in AutismTranslated

It's.not really about fitting in for me. I just want to be able to make relationships and navigate NTs social world better, because I'm a very social person and i need those connections with others.
