And while I people very well in specific domains where there is a set structure (which may actually make me a good manager in certain contexts), I definitely don't know how to people well in general.</p><p>For one thing, it kinda sucks when my brain:</p><ol><li>Likes to forget that people exist (<a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/adhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> object impermanence)</li><li>Always assumes that people are angry/disappointed at me (<a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/rsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RSD</span></a> / <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/rejectionsensitivitydysphoria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RejectionSensitivityDysphoria</span></a>)</li><li>Does a poor job of picking up on social cues (<a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/socialblindness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocialBlindness</span></a>)</li></ol><p>Fortunately, I don't have a severe case of most of these, except for the second one, which is pretty awful.</p><p>Also, while I don't like harping on "my story" (because so many have gone through so much worse), I did go through a very "Twilight Zone"-esque experience where I found all of my friends to be, well... nazis or political zombies, depending on how you want to look at it. Of course, that was preceded by about half a decade by an experience of abuse and rejection in my personal life which was pretty terrible, so I'm generally a bit f'd-up in the head when it comes to "peopling."</p><p>But I'd still like to improve. I don't live in my past. It's not a happy place, and past me isn't someone I have any allegiance to, in terms of spending emotional energy re-living.</p><p>I think there's a lot of freedom in that mindset, honestly. I sure as heck spent enough years chained to the hurts of the past. That's no freaking way to live.</p>
