I dont get it...

Do you have trouble understanding if people like you or cant stand you? Sometimes I cant tell the difference.

Tbh yes, a lot of the time I have no idea. I think the more years we spend being taught to mistrust our experiences of the world, the more doubt we come away with that we are able to trust how we experience other people.

@summersong You know exactly what I mean. It feels like a handicap not being able to understand others cues. But then again, after all the abuse over a course of a lifetime, how are we expected to? I cant ask anyone to be anything more or less, but I dont know how to react to signals that could mean, bye I hate you or later friend. It makes communicating with others an anxious experience 😔

@RebelFox yup. It would be so much easier if people were just up front about how they feel.
