I suffered temporal lobe damage after a severe beating. I have made significant progress, a lot of people don't know even realize I have a TBI, but communication (emails/text are especially) is still sometimes hard for me. How do you make new friends with a brain injury and explain it in a way so you don't scare them off? How do you make your old friends understand? How do you make it easier to understand communication when you don't see them in person? It hurts my heart knowing I mess up understanding their emails or their texts. A lot of my friends from college live further away so I am sometimes forced to only have non in-person contact. I know it's frustrating for them to explain things to me, how do I get better at understanding non-verbal communication or written communication. I try making new friends and I get so worried about messing things up, I make them so frustrated with me that they don't want to be friends anymore. Please help me.
