digitalstitches / Christine :
audhd here and I’ll tell you I’ve been chatting online since 1999 message boards. the best, longest running friendships in my life are from that space of honesty and people seeing both the good and bad. masking in person gets me into mostly fake friendships. Irl I like solo adventures into spaces already dedicated to a common interest(for me that’s creative spaces where being weird is already default) with built in ice breakers for myself but also others to approach me. Lukewarm opinion that’s helped with my RSD- think of the sum total of people you meet in life. No way to be friends with all those people even if you wanted to. The other thing is that saying “be so authentically you that it pushes away what’s not meant for you”, which sounds terrifying to intentionally push people away.. but their pieces really don’t fit with yours! Now I have a lot less anxiety now about the people around me, since learning I don’t need everyone to like me. I believe in you to find a balance that works for you! 💜

I was going to comment all the stuff you started dating when you talked about being ND. You said it all so I'm just going to comment to validate your experiences!

Im so grateful you are talking about it at this depth. It’s a real and worthy convo. Do you do anything creative?

thank you for being here and being YOU. over the past year I have felt so alone because the ppl I have been able to unmask with can't handle me unmasked anymore. my rage is too much for their anxiety and their inability to get comfortable being uncomfortable in the face of the truths we are learning only fills me with more rage.

In a way you being online rn for this was you creating the space for online connection which is beautiful in itself but I feel you I want to log off and build community irl the internet is just so good at getting niches together

As a fellow NDPOC I understand and see you. I wish I could find that kind of connection, but I don’t know how to connect with people

the internet really and truly housed me during my youth. Online communities hold such a sense of safety, but the connection is long distance. I'm a millenial and late-diagnosed autist.

Idk either! But I love when you genuinely overshare 😩 so for selfish reasons, I would say “stay” 🥹

Are you me?! I’m in the trenches with this and I spiral into shame bc I feel like when I try to view myself from what I think the “audience” (who doesn’t get me) sees me I feel like a heinous oversharing loser. But I love me and I love my intensity and my hungry brain…and dopamine… (I’m also ND) but my best friend told me the other day that never in 10 years has she ever found me to be too much or overwhelming and she loves who I am. 😮💨 she affirmed the parts of me that I feel so insecure about right now… I think we find our people AND create. We need eachother like guiding lights back to our homes. ❤

I feel like I don't connect with the ppl around me bc of the specific area I live in. everyone is angry and act like they are better than everyone else. Some are well off and bitter while others are piss poor and angry. just driving down the road in my neighborhood and passing a car they are aggressively speeding while giving dirty looks. ppl walk past my house I say hi and they have a scowl on their face. I get that nobody owes me anything but saying hi while passing the only other person around for a block to be neighborly isnt asking too much to show decency or politeness.
