We are normally good at masking bc its expected of us but I am so tired of it. I’m so tired of having to pretend like I’m someone I’m not.

Then when we mess up and let our guard down or make a mistake and accidentally show people we are ND, we get dogpiled or yelled at. It sucks especially bc we sometimes don’t understand social mores, so even when we are confident that we are acting the way NTs expect us to, we can end up wrong and still get yelled at.

It’s awful bc we are never gonna create a more equitable society if we can’t have these types of conversations with NTs. We have to show them that bring ND isn’t an insult, but that’s when we get yelled at or made fun of.

    Ignore it, friend. Nothing really matters except what matters to you.

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I realized a long time ago that worrying about it is a waste of… everything.

    Being online makes communication very simple (for good or for ill), but it also grants you magic powers: You can make people disappear forever at the tap of your finger.

    You have more important shit to think about. I’m sure of it.
