Re: Expressing my full self

I sort of understand where you're coming from even though I guess I'm a bit of a traditionalist and would want guarantee of exclusivity with any partner myself or maybe it's insecurities about her going off with someone else because I'm no good. Not all blokes are confident as they may seem. As for ...

Re: do you find that it's always your fault?

In my experience I get trapped by this quite one quite a lot. I have a habit of being self deprecating and some people don't understand how far they can take the 'it's Tom's fault' and it begins to grate! Had a bad experience with this a several weeks ago and it can be very frustrating getting other...

Re: Relationships

I've never had a proper relationship. sometimes it really depresses me as I'm asking myself why? Am I just not reading the signs etc but then again perhaps it's just I haven't met the right person. Thankfully I have some great female friends though I admit there has been misunderstanding on my part ...

Re: Hi there I'm Tom

Hi Katy Thanks for your reply. I guess I've always had my coping mechanisms but pace of change and resultant self confidence lows have led to me/my managers trying to do something about it. I'd say I was generally in denial about the dyspraxia thing. Disclosure in many ways is a daunting prospect bu...

Re: Work Concerns

Not sure what opportunities there are these days but have you considered working in a museum or some related area? worth researching what companies organisations there are in your local area and who you know or could get to know connected with them. Good luck

Re: Does Dyspraxia make you who you are

I'm sure it does. Although there are lot of things I'm unhappy about at times I don't think I'd be the person I am today were it not for my dyspraxia. Not driving because of visual impairment is a pain but I earn enough to have nice holidays and I'm a well liked person with some great friends. Not b...

Re: How to be a better person

I'm always trying to be perfect, It's exhausting and I don't seem to be getting anywhere at times. Then again I really appreciate my friendsships with women though I have got the wrong idea about what that means on occasion.

Hi there I'm Tom

I'm not sure if I was 'diagnosed' formally when I was younger at time I was statemented in school. I'm 36 now In the last couple of years I have found things seem to have got increasingly difficult and I feel as though I'm withdrawing. I have some great friends but still I've not managed to click wi...
