Friendship can feel complicated when your brain works differently. You love deeply, feel intensely, and often carry more emotional weight than anyone realizes. For many neuro-spicy hearts, connection has been shaped by masking, people-pleasing, overthinking, and trying to be ""easy to love,"" even when it cost pieces of yourself.

The Misunderstood Friendship is a compassionate, clear-eyed look at how understanding your own wiring can change every relationship in your life. With warmth, humour, and honesty, Peggy shares her journey of late-in-life clarity, unmasking, setting boundaries, healing old patterns, and redefining what healthy friendship actually looks like.

This book is not about fixing every friendship. It's about understanding yourself so your relationships finally make sense.

Whether you've felt too sensitive, too intense, too giving, or simply misunderstood, these pages will help you see yourself with new kindness, and begin connecting from a place of truth rather than survival.

When you understand yourself, you love differently. And that changes everything.
