I want to unmask

General Question/Discussion

Hey girls

so I feel after years of going through the mills of neurotypical school, uni, the corporate world plus growing up with parents that traumatised me I feel like that really “took my edge off”.

After countless talks with school directors, counsellors, awkward feedbacks by other ppl saying that “I’m just too much”/“ if I could just be a little more [add neurotypical trait] I could do so much better” I feel like I started to wear a mask so strong that I just forgot how to take it off just because I am trying to fit in.

But FUCK THAT I used to be cool and more unique and now I’m just awkward in social situations, constantly worried that people don’t like me anymore etc etc.

I know that I’m not alone with this situation and I don’t want to be a victim so happy to hear your stories of how you managed to unmask ❤️🌀
