    I’ve found myself in similar situations with past partners. I’ve found that “I need to go to x place. I’d love to have your company if you’re not busy” is a good way to let them know that I want them there with me, but there’s no obligation if they don’t want to come.

      Thanks! I’ll start using this, I’m surprised it’s such a common thing, I tought I was just socially inept or something

        I don’t know how common it is, but I def tend to be socially inept. I think most people are socially inept in some situations though. The trick is finding someone with social ineptitudes that are compatible with yours.

        Yeah, same here. Communication is difficult already. I do not envy the difficulties neurodivergent folks go through in understanding this shit

          see for some its more I don’t want to pressure you to come. If you can and want to thats great but really if you have anything you would rather be doing no big deal. I honestly wish I did not have to go.
