>tfw finally realized that it's not them it's me
Before today I always thought that my distance from my family was experienced by all my siblings. I thought we were a dysfunctional family but I'm the autistic one. I used to be close with them but something happened in middle school that just made me so distant from them. Jesus lads. Hold me.

Okay I'll take the bait. What happened in middle school?
It's always been me. It's my fault for being who I am. They love me but they deserve far better than me. It hurts me every day to force them to persist in loving me.

It's not something specific. It was more the fact that I was getting exposed to assholes for the first time. I was always quiet at school but it became more of a weird trait in middle school and I became quiet at home too. I didn't notice it happening until recently when I look back at pictures and see that I was just always on my phone not participating in anything.

I know what you mean. I don't really see it as being "your fault" still, I blame it on circumstances. I really wish I could laugh with them and ask them about their day without it being mechanical.

Oh. Yeah I think something similar happened to me. Well, in middle school I think it was more like, at home I was loud and autistic but wouldn't have anyone over or visit anyone else, and then in high school I became quiet and distant at home too.

Bad feels. Wish I could go back and yell at my past self.

Yeah I used to be close to my family too. Then sometime when I was a freshman in high school I started becoming withdrawn. Then my dad insisted that there was something wrong with me, which just made me mad and even more withdrawn. I'm almost 30 now and i'm still awkward around my parents.
People change when they hit adolescence.
Its not me, its a normie extrovert chad and stacy low IQ retard society. You literally have to be a piece of shit to thrive in it.
