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.

I’m very good at sports when I can be. Usually when I “hide”, it’s because these tall women are blocking me. (I’m 5’7 but they are 5’9, even 5’11) I can shoot some awesome hoops, I just refuse to help useless people who aren’t as good as me when I actually care about the game. In this case, people are tools made to complete the goal of a game. If the tools are broken, why use them?

It's a team sport. You're not a team player. Don't stand there like a lump, "hiding". Create pressure, opportunity, and space for your teammates. The goal of the game is not for you to score. The goal of the game is for your team to score.

You sound like a broken tool.

If my team were better at strategy, I’d be less mad

Then help. If you see the problem, help provide the fix. Enthusiasm, energy, and skill raises everyone's game. Whining just compounds the issue.

I’m pretty enthusiastic and energetic, or all of those really, I make easy wins, and I like to say “Oh yeah! I won!!” and point to myself.
