Re: Do we tend ot be loners?

Wow. Another common thread. For me it’s a combination of things that create this situation. First I get board just sitting around talking, there are times when it’s possible, but for the most part I need to get up and do something frequently. Second, when we are talking I tend to be involved in only a portion of the conversation because I’m thinking about what to say next and missing the important bits, tone, underlying messages, connections, etc. Third I get worked up and anxious and tend to talk myself out of going to most social things to avoid being uncomfortable around lots of strangers. Never thought of it as being overwhelmed by the stimulation of a situation, and I don’t have a problem meeting new people, but I tend to piss off those that get to know me and perhaps it’s a combination of facing those people and repeating my errors from previous encounters. Last I have known I was ‘different’ from most for a long time, but not knowing why created a lot of frustration and anxiety. Like Rick said in one of the Videos “I used to suffer with ADD, now I live with it.” There is a big difference between knowing and guessing, this thread might let me understand why better so I can cope better. Cheers!
