    Morning folks, I hope everyone's doing ok. 😊

    I just wanted to chime in here as I think the ND vs NT talk is pretty dangerous. Yes, the world is designed from a NT perspective, but let's not talk down about NT people please, we're all in this together, we just sometimes think differently from each other, that goes for everyone, NT or ND. ❤️

    I'm so sorry to hear that @eeL I totally get what you mean, it does feel like we're square pegs in a world designed for round holes. But we shouldn't let our past experiences cloud how we move forward in life, easier said than done I know. Life isn't easy for the neurodivergent, but we need to learn to work with others to make others see our struggles.

    I do hope you reconsider leaving, as your insight if often very valuable for others.

    Hey @eeL I've just seen your email. I think it'd be a real shame if you left, I know you mean a lot to many members of the community and I love our interactions. Maybe keep your account active? That way if you want to drop in to say hi, you'll be all set to go. 😊

    please don’t leave @eeL yiu were speaking your truth and your words helped me so much. It was me that was mainly to blame for all the comments, I apologise for that.

    This group has been a real eye opener for me , as I went through my whole life feeling like an alien as I have always never fit in nowhere. I am a very observant person so through my life I notice ppls mannerisms, behaviour and my interactions with them and I think of how I am etc and I see clearly from a very young age that I am completely different to them. So it’s nice knowing I am not alone in the world as I genuinely thought there was something really wrong with just me, so I am very grateful to be a part of this group, it’s helped me in so many ways.

    Do any of you here have the trait where you get upset easily at all ? . Sorry if this is a wrong question .

    I think sometimes we try so hard to say the right thing and fit in, when really all we want to be is ourselves. Then when we say the wrong thing it can be devasting because we have tried so hard. This is when it can be upsetting @Strawberry1 I also think does it really matter what others think because at the end of the day no one is perfect.

    I am really emotional, things hurt me deeply, I cry just if I see someone else crying. I feel like I am constantly trying so ridiculously hard to fit in that I end up exhausting myself, anytime I have social interactions with people afterwards I need time alone in the quiet coz I feel so drained
