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?
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
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 😅
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 😅
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.
Hell, I’ve had enough of me
That tends to be my experience.
Only see that group half the times they involve you in things.
Of course. See also: friends, spouses, jobs, et cetera.
