Now, I want to share something interesting ...

As I was cleaning my place, I found an old letter given to me by one of my teachers back in high school. If memory serves, our whole class once received these letters from classmates and teachers shortly before our graduation.
I had mixed feelings about this particular letter. To sum it all up, I was told that I should try getting along with others, realize that I can't always be on my own and hang out with my family.
  
How do you suppose I can make friends if my attempts of socializing only lead to unnecessary fights and others running away upon knowing I'm not as normal like them? Everybody often mock the way I interact and believe I'm too quick to calling someone a 'friend.'
   
I am not autistic or neurodivergent; rather that nobody taught me good social skills at home. I never was that close with my family either but they were the only few who could at least understand my shortcomings. At the same time, I find solace in sitting by myself — no stress or drama.
     It's easy to assume that everybody has a friend and something is wrong with you if you are unable to please others.
    Like I always said, not everyone is the same. I have no control over how others think. The only way for us to be friends if someone is willing to understand me better and respect my differences.
