Did anyone else have a much cooler than them best friend growing up that everyone liked so they based all their social cues off her like if she wore certain clothes that meant it wasn’t cringe so it was ok for them to wear too

Still my best friend and I tell her all the time I legit wouldn’t know how to navigate social life without her. Fashion, makeup, conversation topics, all picked up from her.

Or like certain senses of humor like being a little weird but everyone adored her so I knew it was acceptable for me to be a little weird like that too or like literally with ANYTHING even just talking about a band she liked if I also liked the band I’d be like ok I can talk about it too then 😭😭 idek how to escribe it like I wasn’t copying her but like I took all my cues and opinions from her 😭

Anyways we’re still best friends and she’s a million times cooler than me now and I don’t reallyyy do that anymore but I was just thinking about the only reason I was not super obviously autistic is because I somehow managed to grow up next to THE MOST charismatic likable person ever and I mirrored her harddd 😭

Literallyyy idk what I’d do without her I still go to her for advice all the time or try to think how she’d handle something but we go to different colleges and I was in shambles at first I struggled so bad to make friends and fit in without her by my side 😭 still lowkey struggle but I’m doing a lot better

Same I have a very social friend who I visited for a while that unintentionally showed me how to be more social and how to befriend girls at a time when I really needed it. At the time I didn't even realize I could be autistic
