Apologies - long winded!
I am late 40's (f). Never officially been diagnosed as ND (as it didn't exist when I was younger) however I exhibit so many classic signs and symptoms and behaviors so I am confident I am. Moving on...
Background - have moved to a new area 6 months ago. Feel like I am settling in, although no real "close" friends (this is not unusual for me). Having said that, I attend loads of group "events" and "activities" with others, so socialize more than I ever have in my entire life.
Onto what I can't work out. Was in a group chat for an activity I was going to attend. The group chat was created to facilitate car pooling, meeting spots, share pics of the day etc. I did not end up attending this event, due to having a migraine on the day.
So lots of comments and pics were shared of the day - lovely. I did not comment, as I didn't attend, but it was obvious to the group that I had 'viewed' the thread. Anyway - I have since been deleted from the group chat. Because my social cues are not great, I'm unsure if I am being "snubbed" or if I should feel slightly hurt/offended. Or - maybe it means nothing at all & I am simply overthinking. I honestly don't know! Its causing me a touch of social anxiety!
In the same vein, went to an event with a group and one of the attendees took a selfie and posted and tagged others on SM...I was literally sitting right next to the poster in the photo (but I wasn't tagged) so I joking wrote "what about me" - again, unsure if it was a snub or a genuine oversight.
Thanks for reading if you made it this far.
