I’m a girl with ADHD, depression, and anger issues. I like to consider myself pretty fashionable and good at sports, but my only friends are weirdos?

This one girl I’m friends with has a really bad stutter and autism, for example, and I think it’s weird. She also doesn’t like sports like I do.

    I remember one time someone stole the ball from my friend so I called my friend helpless and useless. No one really helped my teammate with the ball and it was easy for people to steal from each other, especially when no one was trying to get the ball back. But I certainly wasn’t going to help stupid people.

      Could this be the reason why you don’t have many friends? You think they’re stupid/useless? That’s usually not how friends treat each other. Is this common in the States/English speaking countries or something as “banter”?

      Edit: Banter seems like an excuse in this context, and OP seems genuine/serious, not joking around. I HAVE heard banter such as “You absolute dumbass” in a playful way but it was never repetitive or harmful.
