    I wouldn’t know I certainly do have social anxiety that without proper preparation can make me turn back home minutes from my destination, the more I read these ADHD/Autism memes etc the more I see my own actions reflected, never been diagnosed cause they didn’t know anything about this stuff when I was a kid and at this point… whats the point? I have coping mechanisms in place, and I hyper focus on not over explaining. Funny thing, I was only ever comfortable around people that were “weird”, “normal” people (like I am supposed to be) always made me uncomfortable, scrutinizing everything I say, everything I do, my leg shaking, fingers touching random things around me, eyes darting away from theirs mid sentence, darting back, then off again.

      I could copy paste your response as my own lol except the ADHD. Idk our age gap, but I grew up in the same lived in experience regardless.
