You are quite educated about your disability, knowing terms like Theory of Mind. Thanks, I just read about it and learned more. To teach someone to effectively read complex social cues must be a skill that a professional can recommend a book or course to learn. Have you worked on this with a professional? You have been aware of your disorder for a very long time. I’d imagine you’d reach out to learn these skills.

You mention you have been abusing alcohol. You even shared that with the GM. This does not help you at all. The alcohol is probably exacerbating the problem.

Just an interesting observation, and not to be critical, I noticed you write “prolly” when the word is probably. In other writing, you write perfectly and use very sophisticated words. Then sometimes you write in a simplistic, trashy tone.

I see the meanings of what you described differently. For example; you said the girl told the GM “Take me with you!”. You thought she meant she wanted to be with him because she liked him so much. I see it as she wanted to get out of being there at work. My interpretation of that expression the way she did it meant what i think, but you interpreted it differently.

Anyway, I don’t have much more to say to try to be helpful. We can’t possibly convey to you here all the infinite communication interpretations in every situation. But, I bet there are books and professionals who can.
