NLD and Feeling Empty or Lonely
from Living With an Invisible Learning Challenge · host Jennifer Purcell
Do you ever feel lonely or empty inside because you must keep trying so hard to appear normal in society due to learning challenges in your life? I have recently felt this way because all my friends are already in relationships with significant others and are married now. I am happy for my friends that this is true for them but they have had an easier time with relationships than I have because they are neurotypical.Links for articles:https://nvld.org/scripted-social-interactions/https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/lonely-education/201102/nobody-told-mehttps://themighty.com/topic/apraxia/pushing-through-lonely-moments-athlete-with-nonverbal-learning-disabilityhttps://www.understood.org/en/articles/6-things-i-wish-people-knew-about-parenting-a-child-with-a-nonverbal-learning-disabilityThe following support group is on November 19th at 10 am (PT) unless I have a schedule conflict.Links for new podcasts:Shero: Be Your Own Hero Trailer: https://open.spotify.com/show/1O7Mb26wUJIsGzZPHuFlhX?si=c3b2fabc1f334284Chats, Barks, & Growls: Convos With My Pet Trailer: https://open.spotify.com/show/74BJO1eOWkpFGN5fT7qJHh?si=4440df59d52c4522Think Out: Free Your Imagination Trailer: https://open.spotify.com/episode/71UWHOgbkYtNoHiUagruBj?si=3d96889cfd2f487bLinks for Sleepy Butterfly:1. https://open.spotify.com/show/5FNnA8XFCzRORCRaZXlHE9?si=a82d5133f7f6411e2. https://www.facebook.com/sleepybutterfly96My platforms:1. https://livingwithmultilearningdifferences.com/2. https://www.facebook.com/livingwithnld?view_public_for=107332511122585#3. https://www.instagram.com/livingwithmultilds/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr#4. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOqAA0b3-C-qDkhKwCmaaZg
