struggling to communicate

I have struggled all my life with talking to people and some days are better than others, today was a bad day for me, had to go see mother in law today for lunch and drop off xmas gifts and for kids to get theirs from their granny.

I have absolutely nothing to say to her, she doesnt like me and dont see the point of small talk, i only went as my husband wanted me there, just zone out completely when they talk about things that i am not apart of, the conversation bores me, i could barely look her in the eye and was had myself turned away from them for most of the afternoon, kids has party poppers and hated the noise, felt myself near to tears at one point as i so want to fit in and be liked. I am undiagnosed but looking at seeing the dr this week to see about some support.

I dont know how to cope with this.

  • Sounds hard for you infinitypink, I have some idea of how wanting to fit in but never seeming to feels. I hope your GP is sympathetic. If you can get a diagnosis, it may well be a great help to you - if nothing else, to know there is a good reason for the way you feel. Hopefully, others close to you will understand and be supportive.  I'm sure others on this forum will have much more informative and udeful things to say, but I sense your pain and wanted to let you know you're not alone.
