I think the combination of whatever type of neurodivergence I was born with and my formative experiences have almost irreperably condemned me to a short and turbulent existence.
I'm aspie to the degree that I can pass as neurotypical at first glance but rarely properly connect with people and I feel like an alien wearing a human's skin, I think people can sense that somethings "off" but can't pinpoint it, there's an uncanniness to me. A friend of mine (autistic himself, practically a genius) said once that I sort of give off psychopath vibes when I asked him about it
. I maintain decent social relationships and I'm OK looking (LMTN 6'2") and I've slayed a few times but I've had no luck with any sort of long term relationships at all and my friendships feel surface level and artificial. I really at my heart just want to be wanted, but I never am, I've never been anyone first choice, I always care about them more than they do to me and it just enrages me as the pattern repeats over and over..
I have pretty bad adhd which I'm trying to get medicated for. I'm also super impulsive and wired towards short-term gratification which has led to a lot of mistakes and will only lead to worse if I continue to deteriorate. In recent years I seem to be suffering with really bad mood swings, not sure if its related to that or is indicative of a personality disorder or medical issue or something (although my bloodwork seemed fine before). But at the same time I'm super ambitious (and to be fair, pretty damn bright) and so I literally cannot afford to fail or settle in life for the sake of my mental wellbeing. I have potential but my mental health and general motivation and drive fluctuates rapidly so I go through periods of hyperfixation and slacking.
The scary part is I'm getting worse by the day. I think I was in an OK state a couple of years ago, a bit off but still "healthy". Now though I feel myself getting angrier and more resentful, more reactive, tending towards dissociation more, my thoughts get worse, more pathological. The typical "go outside, eat healthy, sleep right, get off the internet" platitudes aren't gonna help I've tried that. A better lifestyle helps mildly with my day to day mental state but doesn't deal with the underlying problems, which I'm not sure can be fixed. I know what happens to people like me.. its so over
