Why do people always ask me when was the last time I talked to anybody?
I really don’t like talking on the phone a lot so I tend to avoid it. Not that. I don’t want to talk to anyone. I just prefer texting or video chat.
My aunt always asks me, “When was the last time you talk to your friend (let’s call her Fran)?”
I haven’t really spoken to her in a couple months. So when I told her May my aunt gave me this lecture, “You need to talk to her and keep contacting her. Seeing each other only once a year is unacceptable. You need to spend some time with her. She really LOVE you and it was good that you spend a lot of weekends with her. You’re always in the house all the time not doing anything. Same with your friends that want to hang with you but you don’t talk to them. The neurotypical peers you tried to hang with they treated you like crap and rejected you so many time. It’s nice for you to have friends that you can relate to and connect. You’re treating them the same way those typical peers treated you. Stick with the people that actually notices you and want to hang with you.” If people can’t accept you for being special needs or having special needs friends then they’re not for you.
The thing is, she never texts me first. I mean she does and people have the audacity to call me out for not calling or reaching? Gives me so much anxiety. Most of my friends are autistic or neurodivergent. My parents prefer me to have friends that are similar to me.
My uncle said, “Do you talk to (let’s call him Eddy? When was the last time you talked to you ‘boyfriend’” he teased.
I got annoyed and said, “Stop. He’s not my boyfriend. He texted me the other day but not everyday. We’re just friends.”
He looked at me and said, “Oh COME ON! He obviously likes you. You outta give him a chance. See you’re blushing.”
Eddy isn’t my boyfriend because if he was, we would be going out on dates, calling everyday and he would flirt. He does NONE of that. My best friend said, ”Maybe he’s afraid to admit it or flirt because you may reject him. He calls you his girl a lot so it’s OBVIOUS that he wants you to pay attention and notice him. We’ve all seen the way he looks at you.
