Any menopausal women misunderstanding situations or people in general

[whatisforteamum]

I'm post meno and on HRT.Great and I feel physically well don't smoke or drink and exercise.
But I find myself at a loss with relationships or people.I get home and think what was going on today. So much so I keep myself to myself a lot.
I don't understand my dh s moods,or what my colleagues are whispering or bitching about today.
My dm threatened to take people out of her will that didn't wish her happy b day...We did of course.
I don't know if I'm neurodiverse and it has worsened in menopause.
Or fed up of trying to figure everyone out.Has this happened to anyone else.

Oh just me then 🤣

Yes I'm the same.
I bolt into work, do my job and disappear home! No idea who is slating who, can't do small talk and can just about do humour! I'm awful really. Definitely worse with menopause and question whether I have any people skills at all!

Not sure how to tackle it, but that's me.

I also feel pretty incompetent compared to my colleagues. They are largely younger and more confident than me. I try my best though.

My people skills are such that I don't want to listen to other people's rants, conspiracy theory love or boring details. I try not to share my boring news, too.

I feel on a different frequency.
No time for toxicity or negative vibes anymore.
Some things I just don't get.
Maybe it is the aging process and a need to be positive for the rest of my life.
Or my caring hormones dried up.

I understand people, I just can't be arsed dealing with them!

This happened to my mum and my MIL and I’m pretty sure it’s now happening to me.

I'm feeling similar. I just can't be arsed with the drama. I totally can't understand why people do things they must know will cause issues then lament around the way things turn out. My sister and mother are complete drama queens and they seem to relish in it.

3 out of 4 weeks in a month i can deal with it the other week i keep my head down and try not to break down in public.

It's defo not just you. Remember that when you see a cross woman. She's probably feeling the same.
