I’m new here

I am very tearful today so I looked through the forums here and I don’t resonate with anyone else’s posts which makes me feel worse! I am exceptionally sensitive to sound at the moment and want to shut myself away from everyone and everything IRL but I also have a real problem with spelling and/or grammar mistakes: I won’t use a shop or restaurant if they have notices or menus with mistakes (please don’t think I’m perfect in this regard myself - I will berate myself for days afterwards if I slip up) and this means I can’t always finish reading some of the posts! I can’t maintain friendships because I don’t do small talk and once we have exhausted all topics of conversation (usually this is just moaning about our respective work), what’s the point? So that’s my messed up life, how are you doing today?

  • Thank you for your response. I don’t think badly of other people because of their spelling and grammar (I think so anyway), I just can’t bring myself to, for example, eat in a cafe which serves lemon mouse cake instead of lemon mousse cake; or buy from a market stall that sells potatoe’s!
