Connection

Always getting flaked on, or always the one initiating conversation are also great examples of why people will withdraw. P.s.- repeatedly being shown you don’t matter, from a young age, is exactly how a narcissist is born. P.s.s- and no (about the disorder matter) I don’t want to hear anything about “they’re just not well informed and are ignorant to the subject”. Balderdash. That person knows how to listen, and they can read up on it. They’re just an obtuse jackass. I still say don’t lose hope. Your tribe is out there.
