Did anyone else feel shame over not feeling embarrassed over shit and the wondering why other people teased them but not actually understanding in turn made them embarrassed about everything and conclude peoples casual dislike was default? - AUHD woman.

This but now I give ppl more of a chance. A lot of ppl will be mean to someone bc everyone in the group has deemed that they deserve it for whatever reason. I experienced that and now it’s easier to see through it.

I became a human anthropologist (I like thinking of myself as fae or an alien in my head trying to understand humans) and basically have been acting the Jane Goodall experience for life. I figured out where my personality fit in and went with those people. And developed a loosely affected mask training myself to ask people about themselves to understand them. It works.

It took a long time to remove the chip from my shoulder and start using radical empathy instead though. But it definitely made me happier.
