people aren’t as accepting as they say they are
Recently, I came across a video from a creator I usually like, from a while ago. In this video, they were explaining that “just because you’re neurodivergent doesn’t mean you have to be a loser”. Which is true there are plenty of people with autism, ADHD, etc. that have vibrant successful lives and I love that for them. But I feel like Neurotypical people who say things like this are not being honest about how they treat neurodivergent people.
I don’t feel like I’m owed anyone’s friendship and people have every right to be irritated by my forgetfulness and lateness. But when you have disorders that make it harder for you to be around people treat you like it. People tell me to “just go outside and make friends” “just be myself and create community” “ you’ll find your people “ as if I get treated the same as everybody else. People have a low tolerance for me and I feel like I’m being gaslight when people act like I’m making it up. Almost every time I’ve suspected that someone doesn’t like me I end up being correct. (They straight up admitted it, others have told me what they said etc.) My apprehensiveness to put myself out there is not based on delusional petulant insecurity . People actually don’t like me because of who I am naturally and I'm tired of being treated like it’s not the truth. IDK I just wanted to rant and I’m wondering if anybody else feels this way.
