I learned that when people reply to your messages, it is good to reply to their reply. It seems simple, but before Babble, I never learned that. I still have to do that more in real life.
I also learned that telling people they make me want to hurt myself when they don't do something does not make people want to comfort me and talk to me. Again, it seems simple, but I had to learn that.
I am very behind in terms of social development. I told my pdoc that I think I am developmentally delayed in many ways. She didn't disagree. I am 27, but the guy who emailed me told me I acted like I was 14. I think that is about right. I think emotionally I maybe even be younger than that.
I think 5 years ago I may have been about 2 to 5 emotionally. I had no idea what friendship was about. I have more of a clue now, but still, it is very foreign to me. I threw many tantrums. I am better at thinking rationally now and talking myself out of my tantrums.
I don't think I will ever be like other people. Intellectually I think I am an adult, but emotionally I am very young.
Developmentally delayed. :/
