Might As Well Not Talk

Mytwenty

Hi

I am going through the diagnosis process, and have become increasingly conscious of my bad social skills, which people close to me have admitted are not great. Maybe it's pride, but what's the point in talking at all if I'm going to embarrass myself?

  • I am sorry you are having difficulty in talking and worry about what you are saying. Don't be to hard on yourself, stick with the ones that are supporting  and want to help you during difficult times and you will always be able to speak with people on this forum who will give you empathy. I have problems with some people that don't like me speaking about my Spectrum, and say I will loose friends if I do.. I did loose one friend but that was because they felt they could not take me speaking about my Spectrum. I think it is good to speak about it because it helps us learn more about our condition or conditions. I now just speak with those friends who are true patient and understanding of me. You can speak about anything on this Forum I find and people will listen an will give help and advice if they can do so. Most of all we give real empathy on this site. Don't know if I have been any help or support atall here but I want you to know I care. Helenaa
