I feel like the community is no longer a safe space, it has become very superficial.

​

I genuinely feel this way, I always feel isolated and lonely outside the community, lately even the community makes me feel isolated and lonely because of my HIV diagnosis, ethical and morally, i prefer being upfront about it, i inform about my diagnosis and try to educate people because the stigma hurts more than the actual diagnosis, I genuinely cant talk about any of this with people ik irl, thats why I resorted to reddit, but kind of comments and dms i get, kind of breaks my heart, i thought this was supposed to be a safe place, I just want to feel belonged, but idk anymore.
