Are you on the autistic spectrum? That makes socual cues much harder to grasp. With therapy & work at it, it can improve but finding a good T who understands & knows how to help is the key.

I grew up with a dad who was clueless socially (possibly on the spectrum but long before it was ever something diagnosed cause I grew up in the 50's & 60's). Then I got married to someone who was just like my dad except with a college degree. I had to work at social cues because what I lived with for 54 years didn't reinforce the ability. It took work & focused awareness & mindfulness to grow into that ability & counter what I had lived with for so many years.
