They've done studies which found that 1 in 10 people are narcissists. But for me it's been like 1 in 2 or 3 in 4. :lol: I would say about 90% of the impactful relationships I've had in my life, have been with toxic people who were grooming me or taking advantage of me in some way.

I am of the opinion that it’s better to seek to move forward from that past, and consider your present and future, which looks really good at this point. You’ve transcen...

Welcome :) I’m also new to WP. I used to be in academia (math) and a majority of my friends and professors in the math dept were on the spectrum. I never thought to ask myself why I felt so much more comfortable around my autistic friends. Autistic or not, hope you find some common ground and commun...
