The only group that’s ever accepted me and has welcomed me without doing that so far has been my local drama group (and, of course, this place :) ). There, it seems my “Golden retriever” energy is always welcomed and in fact valued. What’s been your experience?
Social groups, relationships, everything.
Of course. See also: friends, spouses, jobs, et cetera.
Only see that group half the times they involve you in things.
Hell, I’ve had enough of me
There’s a reason a lot of us only hang out with other NDs
For me it was totally unintentional, it just happens to be who I enjoy being with.
It’s the same for all of us 😅
That tends to be my experience.
Is it more about the hyperactivity ?
On my end, I just assume that’ll we’ll probably never meet again cause I can’t for the life of me ask them to hang out
Or remember their names anyway 😅
RSD?
Rejection sensitivity dysphoria?
Oh I definitely have a whole bunch of that!
I think the RSD is a big driver for my introversion, funny how stuff affects us in different ways
Out of those I know, only others with ADHD + autism feel the same way. Is it possible you’re also on the spectrum?
Yes, very possibly!
I know your feelings, I had to learn to not overwhelm the people with my energy if I don’t know them enough.
Even my cat is like ‘leave me alone, wtf is wrong with you?’ This is the long road to becoming a socially acceptable person. None of this is written down or ever stated by anyone but if you violate social norms too much you end up quite lonely.
