You're not neurodivergent. You're a suffering conscious being just like everyone else. Anxiety and depression are caused by ignorance, not circumstance or personality traits, or anything else. With ignorance there is greed, and anger, and delusion. It is because there is no limit to the diversity of delusion that you cling to the view that you are neurodivergent, and otherwise hold the view that you exist in such and such relations to such and such entities and possess so and so qualities and essences. This is why it is said that ignorance alone is the cause of all mental suffering and dissatisfaction experienced by conscious beings.


Our brains are prediction machines. Anxiety is the anticipation of unpleasant experience, which comes from conditioning, not ignorance.

You can be completely aware of your experience and still feel anxiety. So your thinking is flawed.

Your response is telling. You are triggered by a benign comment and generalize harsh views towards all people.

You sound like a troubled young man who feels invisible.
