I do this by default when trying to establish relationships with people and my track record is not good.

Though believe it or not, sometimes it does not turn people away!

    I have the issue where I try to be friendly or whatever and peoples eyes just glaze over and rarely actually want to get to know me. I’d say the emotion is more inside for me.

      I would say something very similar. At all times, there’s a complete disconnect between the way I express my feelings and how I feel internally-Like the emotion parts of me inside are on overdrive at all times but appear to be completely stalled from the outside

      Fuck. Is it neurodivergence again

      I think it might be time to start a neurodivergent support discord or something 🥴

      I’ve been making it a point to not think about anything involving neurodivergence because I‘ve never been professionally diagnosed and have fears I might become some type of self-fulfilling prophecy, but if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck…

        I’d say so, I’m autistic and also have quite a bit of trauma so it’s hard um for people to see the real you. A lot is obviously going on internally but outward people see like a calm face or whatever and don’t see the real you so to speak. I’m also an empath as in I feel too much which people don’t understand so much too. I reverberate if someone in the room is upset for example… I’d get agitated along with someone and so on and so on… I think the neurodiverse com here is quiet but there’s a few of us knocking around, I’m sure it would be a good place to post in as discords and such can also be hard to run but that’s just a suggestion.
