No one sits you down and says "you're annoying," they just quietly stop hanging out with you. Dawn didn't have real friends until her 40s, and here's what finally changed that.

In Daily Dose 36, Dawn traces her social struggles back to a small town, poor social skills, and undiagnosed neurodivergence, then shares the boundaries-with-yourself work that turned things around. Her repeated mantra: be someone you'd want to hang around with. Proof that social skills are learnable at any age.

If this helped, follow the show so the next Dose finds you automatically.
