my friend, since she found out I’m neurodivergent and hyperfixate, went from really liking me to pretending to like me.

she used to really value me, but now she doesn’t because i have autism and she doesn’t. idk how to feel, she rolls her eyes at me, gives me weird looks, and will just stare at me at times when i say something like “how was your day?” w/o responding.

i understand that she’s a sophomore who’s friends with my friend’s younger sibling, but it still sucks at any age.

    How sure are you that she went from valuing you to not valuing you anymore?

    I ask because I have autistic friends that struggle in social settings. They tend to over-examine and overthink minute details in social interactions and frequently come away feeling hated or disrespected when that’s not the case

      Might also have gone from “not noticing that she doesn’t value you” to “noticing that she doesn’t value you”.
