How come only weirdos want to be my friend? Is it because I have ADHD? (lemmings.world)

I’m a girl with ADHD, depression, and anger issues. I like to consider myself pretty fashionable and good at sports, but my only friends are weirdos?

This one girl I’m friends with has a really bad stutter and autism, for example, and I think it’s weird. She also doesn’t like sports like I do.

The advantage to being a, shall we say, 'colorful' individual us precisely the ability to meet other colorful people. (In this context, I just mean interesting people, just to be clear.)

Don't forget, there is no 'normal' that needs to be adhered to; frankly, I think many non-neurodivergent individuals only programmed themselves that way cause they're afraid of being "different". But, if you're no different than me, who the hell am I? Who are you? It makes no sense.

Anyway, I just want to encourage you to try to find joy in having "weird" friends...if you can. What better way to enrich your own perspective on life, after all?
