    My close friends and I have been friends for about 20 years and it's only in the last two years that we've all had either an ASD or ADHD diagnosis. Bird of a feather and all that!
    But I do think any two people can clash sometimes, we all have our own ways of thinking and engaging with people, we can't get it right all the time.

    I appreciate your feedback @Albus_Scope , it's just a new course started in my area and then a WhatsApp group started too. I joined in the group chat and I got something wrong. I apologised but it wasn't acknowledged by anyone. I think I might have repeated myself unbeknowningly by mistake. They made a point of letting me know I'd already said quite abruptly. I apologised but they just dismissed it . I've stopped posting there now. I'm always doing something wrong. Thanks again though.

    No need to apologise at all @Strawberry1 I'm glad you're wanting to talk about things, it can really help. 😊

    I'd say sometimes you can apologise and people will accept the apology, but not say anything, so I'd not worry too much there. Some people just want to move on. I think the heat might be making people a bit short tempered right now.

    I thought I'd try and give the WhatsApp group another try . One person who brushed me off as soon as I've posted they have left. I really don't know what I've done wrong 😕. Why are people like this with me . We are all only human after all . I can't do anything right can I.

    Unfortunately I'm not a strong person. Please excuse this.

    Don't say that @Strawberry1 !!!! I'm sorry they weren't more understanding but that is no reflection on you at all!! ❤️

    I feel exactly the same, I don’t fit in anywhere, and people always seem to misunderstand me all the time.

    Thankyou so much @Biblioklept 💓 and @Kali85 i really appreciate your support ❤️. Can't thank you enough 💗.

    @Kali85 it's an awful feeling, and I share it often too. I think being and feeling misunderstood is something we end up having to accept, I've had it my whole life if I'm honest. But the people that take time to understand you are the ones that are important, don't let the others grind you down ❤️❤️❤️

    You're so welcome @Strawberry1!! You've supported me so much and your messages are awful so thoughtful and kind, you have a GIGANTIC heart and are full of love and kindness for everyone else, make sure you're giving yourself some love too!!!

    thank you, I hate the way other people make me feel, they always misunderstand my words or intentions I try do something nice or good and my good intentions are mistaken for some kind of hidden agenda or like I am lying, I always feel like people think I am lying then I end up over explaining myself which makes it look like I am lying. I am trying to learn to not explain myself or justify my actions to these people as I know I am not lying and I know my intentions are always good, I tell myself this person does not deserve an explanation as I am not lying

    Soooooooooooooooo many of us will understand that entirely @Kali85!!! Over explaining is like second nature to me too 😕

    You're right though, no one deserves an explanation from you! When you feel like you're over explaining try and remind yourself of that 💜

    I find people so hard at times, I'm not friends with someone who was vile to me just because I needed space and didn't contact her for a few days. I was always there for her, and her not for me. I think people some time need more understanding if some one has difficulty or health problems. Your not a bad person Strawberry, don't put yourself down.

    It always feels like double standards with people, I bend over backwards to help them and I am always there wen they need me, they expect so much off me, I show them so much kindness and compassion but they never give me any kindness back. I struggle alone nobody is interested in my life, and I never ask for favours as people have always let down! So I have just got used to my friendships always being one sided and still I get treated like the bad guy even though they are the ones using me and always take take take and expecting me to drop everything for them, while they have no interest or concern about my life or feelings. It’s exactly why I try to keep myself to myself and avoid people
