I grew up getting talked over at home. At school I was bullied and ostracized. After entering the workforce, I've been quietly beaten down at every workplace and made to feel like I should STFU at all times.

Today, people ask me why I'm so quiet most of the time and why I don't attend non-mandatory work functions or teambuildings anymore. I can only smile faintly and fakely while agreeing with them that I must be shy or simply have nothing to contribute.

It is what it is.

Ah that sucks mate. Do you have any ND friends?

[โ€“] Kyrgizion 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't have any friends, really. Not since Covid.

That really sucks. One can't survive without friends. Can't you endeavour to make some ND ones? They tend to be way more in sync.
