Stepping out on my own! - breaking ties rather than keep trying to conform and failing

I am at a juncture.

I don't fit into NT life, nor can I jump through their hoops without making a mess of it

Has anyone done similar and how did it work out?

  • I don't think you give yourself enough credit. As far as i know you have a good career for a start, so you can definitely conform in some ways. Personally i haven't had a relationship for quite a long time and it does suit me. I feel a lot less anxious. But you might not want to sever ties with everyone as you might feel lonely. Probably don't make any hasty decisions as it could be more of a rough patch than a long term thing. Good luck with whatever you decide though. At least you'll still have everyone here!
