Conflicted

A feel conflicted and a bit embarrassed of when I tell anyone, whether in person or online about me having significant brain damage. I have a lot of cognitive impairment and it makes it difficult to say what I’m trying to say, among other things. So sometimes I feel that it would be important to inform people of it because of my difficulty. I try my best to not care about what others think and to not seek validation or attention as well when it comes to my impairment. Is it normal to “warn” people of my condition so that they understand why the way that I am I being extra?
