Wow, it’s one of those embarrassing aspects of who we are isn’t it? I find it difficult to keep in touch with people too, and I’ve become more reclusive and isolated as I’ve aged. People just perceive me as being very immature and irresponsible, and a bit ‘kooky’. It takes a toll over the years, and even though I am very resilient I do find it hurtful to be looked upon as some kind of retard, or freak. I stopped going to parties after getting into too many fights with people over something that I’d blurted out, and I’ve had so many problems with management at almost every gulag I’ve been exploited in that I’d begun to think that I have issues with ‘authority’ . Having been accused of ‘insubordination’ so many times it almost becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy that I’ll become a troublemaker wherever I work. Sheesh, at one place that I worked I even got a verbal warning of dismissal if I made another Chewbacca noise! The big ‘eeeeeuuuurrrrggggghhhhhhhhh’ ….I used to like having friends, and it’s only been recently when I’ve realised that I’ve been using the internet as my conduit for social interaction! I have just joined a support group for ADHD so I’m hoping to make some friends there
