Not Understood

Lovewell

No one understands me and I'm saddened by that. I feel like people don't even try to understand me, they just look and then decide I'm not worth their time. Sad thing is even my family do this to me, treat me horribly tell me I'm a drama queen and most of the time pretend I'm not there. I have no friends, no one ever wants to be my friend.

I try to tell myself it doesn't matter and I'm sure there's people out there who would like me and want to be my friend but I've never met anyone like that yet. I desperately want a job and to get my own place and away from all the negativity but my anxiety is so bad I can't do it. I do a lot of drawing, animation and I'm hoping that will go somewhere in the end but for now it's just my hobby and fun. 

I'm hoping here I can at least find someone who understands.

  • Sorry to hear that this has you feeling so low, understandable as that is. I just a moment ago heard a colleague refer (in an overheard conversation) dismissively to someone they know - who recently split from their partner - as 'on the spectrum'. The tone was very much '...so what do you expect?' and it hurts to hear that as I'd told this colleague (and the person they were talking to) of my autism diagnosis a little while ago and their reaction seemed measured and non-judgemental... then. But in a moment of forgetfulness maybe they've shown another side, forgetting I was in the outer office. Or maybe I'm being over-sensitive. Anyway, you'll find lots of people here who 'get you' and I hope it gives you a sense of positive community and support. And as well as old fogies like me, there are younger people here too who I'm sure you'd have a lot in common with more generally for forging a good friendship. Time will tell, it always does.
