Hi I am a 37 yr old F. I have always been labelled as neurodivergent.
I can’t keep a job long enough cos I always get fired after 6 months. I have been diagnosed with AD since 2014 and I feel like I keep telling people I will underperform due to my AD.
I am aware of what is socially acceptable however I keep blurting out my thoughts..ppl always say I cross boundaries. What can I do? How can I change?
How come I can’t seem to grow up and be a normal adult and keep a job and buy a hdb? Sigh
Any comments? Seems like my post is not as serious as those who threatening to commit suicide
Hihi, it takes courage to open up like you did. Know that there are resources you can seek help from, and that you are not alone.
Many ‘normal’ adults also struggle with conforming to social norms, some more so than others. Most depend on family and close friends for constant feedback and to help calibrate and adjust our behaviours and mannerisms. Sometimes, counselling and therapy helps too.
There are a number of organisations and groups here in Singapore providing a variety of assistance and support for different needs and circumstances. Do reach out if you have difficulty finding one that suits your needs.
Do keep this channel open.
