how do I feel less socially isolated?
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
A majority of the time I feel socially isolated and lonely. when theres a group of people talking I usually feel left out no matter how hard I try to join in. Sometimes people see me as coming across as rude but they are ignorant and dont understand how much im struggling.

my brain is slow at processing information so when people talking really quickly i cant keep up, though if they talk slowly i find it easier. most the time people talk quite fast so its really difficult for me to join in.

I end up feeling left out and frustrated and upset because its like im invisable and cant be seen. i see others say what they say but i just dont understand what im doing wrong and why i feel so left out.

whats going on?
does anybody understand this?
anyone else feel the same way?
