#1 & 2 are right, another part of it may be a dopamine crash and a history of being bullied. I think it’s that things go really well with friends but after they leave, I’m left wondering when the next time I’ll get to experience that feeling will be. I get the feeling when I hang out with other neurodivergents, too, so it’s not because of the fundamentally different things about me. I do get the feeling of being secretly hated, but that’s because of being hurt often by people I trusted
