Nice to meet you all
I'm Martin, and i'm 32, from Chorley, Lancashire in the North West.
I live with my Fiancee, and we have a little Patterjack called Gizmo.
I've had Dyspraxia since I was born, and I also suffer from OCD & Social Anxiety & Awkwardness.
My Dyspraxia affects my immaturity, co-ordination, and I can't take too much information in. I also struggle with day to day tasks like preparing meals etc. I work at a Health Food Store, and have been there 7 years.
I tend not to think about my Dyspraxia, but it does affect me. I often talk too much and too loud at work, and feel down & maybe overthink things afterwards if I feel like others have been judging me.
I'm not great in one to one conversations, I struggle to keep the conversation going, and when everyone is having a good laugh at work, it gets me down, as I can't illicit that reaction. I'm not after being liked, but I just feel that all I do is talk crap & that they put up with me. Some like me, as I'm polite, down to earth and friendly, but I just feel down sometimes.
I often don't know my boundaries, like for example, if I've been talking too loud, and then someone tells me. I talk a lot, but sometimes, it's just complete b*llocks. I've been trying to curb this recently and not always fill silences.
I do like to spend nights in, and as I don't have many friends, when my Fiancee goes to work away, I look on Facebook, see everyone having a laugh, and it gets me down.
If there's anything else you'd like to ask, feel free
