Neurodivergent on Yik Yak | On one hand I’m proud of myself for the progress I’ve made on re-socializing myself after 4 years of living in isolation, but at the same time I feel bad for not doing MORE. I feel like I have to do more to be at the same level as my peers and it sucks :(

I went out of my way to regularly look at events going on, attending club meetings and events I didn’t want to be in but still went anyways. I went to an internship event that I almost chickened out of because I felt like I was going to die, and it actually turned out alright. I haven’t made any friends in my 2 years of college, but whenever I walk in a crowded area I don’t find myself looking down at the ground in fear as much anymore

I have an irrational fear of walking outside my parent’s neighborhood, so I’ve been talking baby steps of hanging out outside in the backyard. I doubt my experiences will get me a job, but I’m still applying anyways because what’s the worse they can say when I’m already expecting a no?
