Yep, like nobody will ever “pick” living with me, but that’s made my relationship with myself all the stronger, because I’m stuck with myself. Like I’m not hideous, but I also don’t have a 6 pack, so people just overlook me, and maybe it’s the loneliness talking, but all that is enough to survive, I got my special interests and while I wish it was more, like not a day goes by where I’m not lucky to know what I have.
I (audhd) have dated a lot and have been around many friend groups. The guilt/shame of not being up to speed, not missing people, the cycle of needing tons of space or none at all, etc etc feels bad. I’ve found that a lot of it comes down to self love, setting boundaries and better communication. I’m bad at all of those but I can tell it’s the key on my good days.
