    I struggle to get people to understand that I am constantly overwhelmed because I am taking in all the information all the time. I also struggle to get people to understand that I have extremely good social memory. I can’t remember a 3 digit number for more than 1.5 seconds but I can remember all these tiny details about what we did together many years ago.

    People assume my memory is as bad as theirs and get mad at me for refusing to accept that my memory isn’t as bad as theirs. It’s such a silly way to lose friends but I guess they were never listening to me in the first place.
