I was out with a friend this evening. She has become been a huge support for me though she knows little of my story, but some. Last week we went shopping, something I hate but tolerable and safe with her. I really needed new clothes and she was there for me. She bought a skirt but we didn't find a top to go with it. Tonight she told me she found a top. I asked her to describe it and she said she just did. She said she just told me it was mint green, longer at the back and crop in the front. I heard none of that. She said it's no big deal she's getting use to it. Then she went on to tell me I do that all the time. I had no idea. I was aware of it some, but not to that extent. My kids would say, mom, mom, what were you thinking about and I would make up something. My kids are gone and now a friend. At least she is okay with it.
Dee,
She's a good friend, who is not worried that you'd find that difficult, or awkward. A hug and thanks for understanding are more than enough :)

Dee,
I've done that quite a few times, but to the best of my knowledge no one has ever noticed. I guess I deliberately surround myself with people that are not so perceptive. Perceptive people ask questions... I don't like that.
It's nice that you have a friend that accepts you for you. It's good that you found someone like that. We all have our idiosyncrasies so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Take care :bigwink:
This happens to me too. I feel sorry for my partner at times when he has to repeat himselves 2-3 times because I just can't remember or process what he's saying. Other times I just don't realise he is talking to me at all. I'm just too busy in my bubble.
You seem to have a good friend though. I don't think people generally mind too much. Usually I just say sorry and that I got lost in my thoughts or that I'm a bit tired.
You all highlighted the most important part, I have a fantastic friend! And even though I may be self conscience about it, even try to dissect it, she doesn't. She is able to laugh and be okay with who I am. I'm very lucky.
:cheer: :cheer: you have a fantastic friend :cheer:
I think that's sweet. :) Glad you can be grateful for her.
