I'm so lonely. Even though I'm surrounded by people most of the time and have plenty of friends and acquaintances I feel isolated. I've always struggled with communication. As a teen I was diagnosed with atypical autism. But even when I try to join those autism self help groups they got in my area it's all the same. Everyone always seems to missunderstand what I'm trying to say. As if there was a language barrier or something. It's so frustrating. I just want to hold one conversation and feel understood. I'm not even asking for a deep connection or a relationship or anything. I just want to talk without each of my words being twisted and their meaning distorted. It's tiresome. I'm tired of trying.
