    I can't tell you how many friends I lost in my life but it's most of them…

    Not knowing we were neurodivergent has blighted our lives. You must not blame yourself for that. It takes time to adjust our reactions to stressful situations and some people will never accept our condition is real.

    What you say there @WhatThe you do talk a lot of sense in my eyes .

    I do believe a certain person will not accept my neurodivergance and I am slated regularly .

    Even to quoting that I am not right in the head .

    I know that is not correct .

    I am different .

    I hope one day i see the light at the end of the tunnel

    Thanks again for your support @WhatThe its gratefully appreciated

    Maybe everything that happens to me happens because i am a rubbish person

    Maybe i deserve everything life throws at me

    Probably not worthy

    Probably a very bad person

    Black sheep

    I'm not the most supportive person as I struggle with understanding and reading peoples intensions or emotions and I can come across as rude or blunt sometimes but honestly I have good intensions.

    I just wanted to say don't let others put you down nor ever think your alone, we all experience life and this world differently, there is no normal way of thinking. If everyone thought the same life would be dull and boring and nothing would ever get invented. Most of historys top scientist and inventors such as einstein or tesla etc were believed to be on the spectrum or had mental health issues.

    What you are is you, you are perfect as nature intended you to be and you should never not want to be you. Regardless of your struggles in life deep down your soul is pure, full of love and you care which means alot to everyone even if they don't always show or say so. Life isn't easy, its a rollercoaster of ups and downs, twist and turns and can be testing at the best of times. But with that though will be the support of people by your side who you meet along the way, even if you just only ever speak online.

    So don't be hard on yourself, we never know what life will throw at us and sometimes we all need a little support to help us on the right path again. Be proud of who you are and never be ashamed of asking for help.

    Take care of yourself.
