I have social impairments that make it difficult for me to fully understand everything within the realm of social issues, but I do understand how to care. My reaching out may seem awkward to you, but doing so is the way I best understand how to show that I want to be a friend. Don't be afraid of me reaching out because I am showing care and kindness the only way I know how. If you don't want to talk to me or don't have time to talk, just let me know and I'll understand. If you don't wanna chat, don't just leave me on 'read' or block me or gossip about me behind my back about how weird, pushy, or overwhelming I am. Those type of responses to my attempts to be kind are quite mean and those behaviors will cause me not to trust you in the future. Despite having a very dark past, I'm a very kind, loving person and I am very forgiving towards people who do cause me hurt with their bad behaviors, but forgiveness and trust are not the same. If you hurt me, I will easily forgive because God commands it, but trust will take a very long time to rebuild if it can be rebuilt at all. If you hurt me and feel even a shred of remorse for doing it, please apologize as you see fit and maybe we can salvage something.
