I wish you to choose whatever is best for your mental health - weather it would be staying or moving on, I wish you healing and growth :heart:

I just wish those who I thought had my back would wish me well but they refuse to do so. I don’t understand it at all.

Maybe they didn't see your thread. It's easy to miss a thread on WP.

I’ve messaged them but they refuse to respond to me. If they don’t like me anymore, then I don’t like them anymore either.

But some want you to stay.

I want you to stay.

You've got to try to listen to the people who like you, rather than the people who don't like you.

I wish you would try that approach, rather than only listening to the people who don't like you.

Trying the approach of listening to positive people is a much better "treatment" than any psychotropic drug out there.

Marknis in life not everyone will wish you well, sometimes not even the friends you have made. Reasons could be: they may not know about the thread, they may be busy, they may not know what to say(something that is a common issue with people on the Spectrum), there are many reasons as to why.

This comment isn't helping. What if they saw this? You assumed they "refuse" (as if they are SUPPOSE to respond) to respond to you without any evidence and then said if they don't like you then, you won't like them. It comes across as...petty(for lack of a better word). Just because someone doesn't respond doesn't mean they don't like you and even if they did, you don't necessarily have to dislike them for it.

My question is: Why are you asking if people want you to stay even though you stated multiple times in threads that you are unhappy here? I don't want you to leave, you seem like a nice person but, if you are miserable here than yes, I would be happy if you left not because I don't like you but because this place is making you miserable and it would be selfish of a friend to want you to stay even though they may know you are miserable here.

It's not really up to anyone else.
If you want to stay, stay.
If you don't feel this site is helping you in any way, try to find somewhere more suited to your personal needs.
For me this site has positives and negatives, but the positive experience slightly outweighs the negative at this point, so I stay, although I don't visit as frequently as I used to.
It's about your needs above anything else.

Sure, dude. Stay if you want to stay.
People are here to help each other and perhaps socialise in our own forum type of socialising type of way.

In this life you can't please everyone, and you can't be friends with everyone.
Just do your best, be happy, ask questions, be happy.

Yes.

Because you’ve made such progress over the last year or two compared to the several before that - and you can likely stay the course and do ever better.

Your interactions here are civil & polite. Your social skills here have improved dramatically - and how you do anything is how you do everything, so chances are you’re doing better irl, too.

You no longer lash out in anger or frustration. You have conversations, ask relevant questions, and learn things. You’ve also stopped the repetitive pattern of posting thread after thread that could be the exact same thing over and over again.

And it’s not just your own learning you should stick around for - although you may have accomplished much of that offline. It’s Also for what you can Teach by example. There are bound to be others on here now & in the future that can glean something positive from the progress you’ve made, from the changes you’ve made, from the methods and treatments you’ve tried. If you leave, you deny them that.

So, stick around for what more you can learn, what support others can offer, discussions of new discoveries & treatments that may further benefit you, but Also to be an example to others in your (past) situation.. to show them that change & progress is possible, that improvements are worth living & striving for.

You used to be one of my top 2 Least favourite forum personalities. Now you’re the most improved. Stick around. 8)

Merry Christmas,
:fish:

Merry Christmas Marknis,

You are way more popular here on WP than I am and yet I am still here...

No reason to go.
