@Maxim I definitely find myself oversharing things with people who I really don't know enough to share those things with lol.
a brain that operates faster than my mouth can move
Absolutely! It can be hard to actually convey the information you want to convey because your brain has already moved on. Me and my brother have over the years made abridged versions of many words (inside words?) so we can talk faster to each other, which is nice but that only partially solves the problem for one person. Backtracking in conversations is definitely difficult, for me people just need to be very specific as to what they are asking about.
That must really suck that you are being excluded like that, but I guess you can look forward to getting a fresh start soon. My situation was very different, in a way that could be considered good or bad. In middle school, I was a pretty social person (as well as everyone else), so I knew a decent amount of people. Inevitably, some of these people were not a fan of me, and that caused some problems. My approach was to figuratively befriend the school administration, in the fact that if anyone did anything to me at all I would just report it, and they would usually get some sort of justice. This was unsurprisingly unpopular. So I stopped being social really, and I was just left with a few people who knew me well. At the beginning of high school, that was okay, but by sophomore year we drifted apart, and I never made up for it. And this was about the time I was figuring some
other SuperDuperFunAndInteresting things out about myself (very mentally taxing), so friends just never really happened after that. This meant there was nobody who knew me well enough to criticize me (except my brother of course), which I guess could be a good thing.
Now that I am starting college, I am definitely trying to change that. I would say that I am fully accepting of myself now and ready to take any false criticism that may come my way. Starting to want to do more social things voluntarily, which is nice.
