Yes I tend to have a standard answer for set situations now too. Now it’s more so jarring when I’m unsure of the relationship “level” like I have made acquaintances and friends with coworkers. Some are “work friends” (only see them at work) and one or two are outside of work friends. I feel like I’m glitching when one of my work friends but also friends outside of work asks me how it’s going because my brain is like generic or real answer, glitch glitch.
And also how do you reach out for support or tell someone you’re struggling? I really haven’t figured that out yet.

I just don’t reach out. It’s a lonely solution and I can’t recommend it.
😢 where I’m pretty much at at this stage too. It’s horribly lonely
