Episode 15 (year 3): NLD and Feeling Empty or Lonely

Do you ever feel lonely or empty inside because you must keep trying so hard to appear normal in society due to learning challenges in your life? I have recently felt this way because all my friends are already in relationships with significant others and are married now. I am happy for my friends that this is true for them but they have had an easier time with relationships than I have because they are neurotypical.
