That's comforting to know, thanks

Thanks for letting me know I'll ask my psychologist when I talk to her again and search about it too, I had no idea of this

life would have been so much easier if I’d been diagnosed forty years ago

That's the kind of thoughts I have been thinking of a lot, my life would've been a lot less stressful too had I known when I was in either primary or high school

Thanks for the advices, I think it'll take a long while for me to feel comfortable not masking any longer though but it's nice to those things, in regard about circle I actually kept mine worsening during the pandemic and afterward I probably have fault in losing it honestly but I was usually the one helping others to keep in contact and no one tried once after to do that for me so I still didn't put too much effort into making a new circle or inserting myself into one, it's just become exhaustive and I probably should take better care of my mental health because I have been quite a downer and hopeless of life lately (not because of being diagnosed, but before that already)

I didn't get even that 😞 thanks for sharing and for the advice, it's a lot to take finding out about it when I'm already an adult

 

I always got called out for being weird throughout my life but NOBODY ever mentioned to me they thought I was so I just got exhausted of being misunderstood and misinterpreted sometimes and tried learning the social etiquette my entire life, somethings I don't necessarily agree but I do it anyway and try understanding others doing for the sake of fitting in and I just got quite used to it, miserable at times yes, but it's become my life all of that and any quirkness I just assumed to be due to having more individuality than others since no one ever questioned me directly if I had anything other than just plainly calling me weird. I've honestly been hopeless with life more than I'd like to admit so I'm not sure how I'm going to process all of this, I figured if anyone could understand or relate to this life experience I have would be others diagnosed as well, has it been like this for everyone here and felt this same way when diagnosed (for those who were diagnosed after already becoming adults)? I'm overwhelmed and needed to talk to someone about this but I have no one other than my psychologist however I'm not comfortable discussing it with her right now about it and since Lemmy is semi-anonymous/anonymous I feel a bit more inclined to talk about it here 😞
