I feel embarressed that I don’t understand social norms
Hello new here. Newly diagnosed with autism and diagnosed with adhd a year or two ago.
But like. Am I the only one who feels an existential dread knowing I don’t understand social norms? This stems from the fact I literally once straight up asked the guy I like what to do in a social situation between us cause I had no clue what to do. But like why am I still embarrassed by this? He wasn’t rude mean or judgmental. But I feel so embarrassed knowing he knows there’s something prolly going on in my brain.
It’s just embarrassing. And I know I can’t help it. But I just think about that day sometimes. Cause I feel like I should know what to do but I really don’t. Esp when it comes to him.
Does anyone else do this? Like am I the only one who will openly admit I have no clue what to do rather than guess?
Should I even feel embarrassed? 😭
