Does anyone else get the feeling they they are literally from another planet , particularly since my diagnosis 3 yrs ago , I guess I just used to keep going but and things have happened in life trauma etc I just feel like I don't fit in any longer, I can't understand people and why they say and do what they do most of the time . Naturally I'm an introvert anyway, life recently is a complete engima to me , I wonder if it will improve ever or I will always feel this way, it doesn't win me any friends and can frustrate my wife at times because she does need other people in her life as maybe I should as well but the older I get the less I care , to me it is trival and much prefer the company of my Cats and Dogs, I understand their behaviour. I would welcome and further insights on this please.
I'm similar. My wife pretty much now does as she likes, even though she'd prefer it to be with me. Sometimes I join in, sometimes I don't.
Today, I did trip with her and my Nephews to London. The plan kept on changing because the boys would change their minds. I went to have a quiet sit in the Harrods cafe by myself but it was packed and there was a queue.
I am now on the train home while they go to the aquarium. So now I won't be sad that I missed out. In the end a good compromise.
I had a good time with them this morning playing Lego Harry Potter on the Switch, so I've done a lot with them.
So, compromise. Try not to be in any way jealous of things she does without you, but do enough with her with enthusiasm.
Sage advice, thanks
