No, am neurodivergent man. Rest is true though.
Same for me.
Same here
No, I am not that social. I did have someone I thought was my friend who was just pretending, and I do still feel the pain of that.
Why was he pretending? What for?
Oh kick to the stomach.
What was yours? Assuming you’re comfortable sharing.
Valid, but the mass posters seldom are.
I am not a woman and am … Maybe neurodivergent, but I’ve had this experience. A bunch of times.
I was just curious.
At least someone is keeping this place active. I’ve seen her answering to some posts, though yeah rare.
Certainly not criticism, I very much value their contribution.
I had a best friend who fell into this strange religion where they believed they’d be reincarnated on a planet on the other side of the universe after death… With faeries and magick and all that good stuff.
I made the mistake of telling hir she was never going “Home”, what she called that place… and she unfriended me forever, I still miss you PeachClover… I’ll never get over losing you.
Like Christianity? 😋
Christianity should be legally considered a form of mental illness and treated accordingly
Well, I put it in the same bucket as stupidity, good luck curing that 😅
No and no, except if you count in death.
Some things are just human experiences, touch grass y’all
fwiw this is one of the most common unhelpful responses from allistic people when neurodivergent people describe their experiences.
Instead, imagine “normal life events” but but so pervasive and/or intense that it interrupts your ability to perform the basics of modern life
While true, you are still describing a normal life event. It’s absolutely normal to be devastated by losing a close friend and interrupting your ability to do things for a while.
Okay
I was thinking the same… We all lose people for all kinds of reasons.
It’s gotta be engagement bait, right?
People post “[normal human experience] + because autism teehee” type shit so often, it’s ridiculous.
This seems needlessly gender specific.

I’m not sure what you are trying to say by repeating my text. Care to elaborate?

It’s satirical
I’ll take your word on that 🙂
My mom’s best friend of several decades wound up passing away in her sleep one night. No warning signs, no history, no buildup. One morning, she was simply gone.
Don’t be afraid to embrace the people closest to you. You don’t know when you can’t anymore
Not a woman and I’ve had this happen.
Imagine we have a post
Every Black person I know has had at least one bad experience with the cops
And there’s comments of “I’m white, but I’ve had a bad experience with the cops too”. Like why are you here commenting that on this post bro, without adding anything to the discussion?
Tell us, what was your experience, that you feel it is still relevant or interesting, probably you can still contribute something on topic to the conversation, literally anything at all other than waving around your cis white manhood for us.
Your post is tiny, insignificant, and does nothing for me, the only ones who lap it up are those with their own little cis white manhoods they want to waggle in public
I haven’t had any friendships end abruptly that I’m aware of. But many friendships where I eventually realised I was the only one making an effort to maintain the friendship, and subsequently stopped bothering.
I had a really close friend, we met through exes, and she was pleasantly surprised that I wanted to keep in touch (she’s straight, I’m not). We were there for each other through the worst stuff, cheaters, suicide attempts, miscarriage, abortion, parental divorce etc. even though we both now lived far apart. I was visiting and she introduced me to her new bf, he was very nice, but soon after she moved for a dream job and we did lose touch. It turned out her new bf was extremely abusive and she had been in and out of hospital. I only found out a year later when she replied to a birthday message that she had escaped him. She’s now getting married to a new guy who seems really nice.
TLDR; I think it’s worth trying to stay in touch even when you don’t hear back for a while, sometimes they just can’t rn
Suddenly just stopped responding to messages. Moved cities and just ghosted me. Shit happens I guess. Still, one of the best friendships I had and it just went up in smoke. It’s a shame. Still don’t really know why although I was being a lot more negative at the time while actively trying to hide how bad my chronic pain issues, depression and suicidality had gotten. She probably picked up a real bad vibe and bounced. Honestly, I get it.
I’ve left a lot of friends behind over the years because I rarely put in the effort to maintain a friendship when my effort obviously isn’t being reciprocated, but shout out my best friend from when I was 15 to when I was 25 for ghosting me because he was beefing with someone else entirely and he wanted a clean break from that person.
For about three days before he came back acting like nothing was fucking wrong.
I don’t think about him much anymore, which I suppose is healing. But if his name comes up, I will drop some salt
