Coolest thing ever just happened today just now and it’s called I Am So Overwhelmbed That I Could Throw Up

[rqccharadreemurr]

i have watch many of those ‘how to make people like you’ videos and read many of the books, but no matter how much i follow them, it doesn’t work.

I wrote this 9 years ago:

I tried to fit in, to be what I thought others expected of me at work and in my own time. Expectations I created in my own head and projected onto others, mind. But I was just living as a version of myself All. The. Time. One that was not quite right. It was exhausting.

I didn’t have the terminology! I was masking and knew it was not good for my mental health.

Almost a year ago I lost my skills and independency

I don’t really know why,and I don’t know how to reverse it. I feel like i got slower,I now have issues with grammar that I’ve never had before,and I’m completely mute since the end of may. I assumed it was skill regression,but I really don’t know. I need help with showering,prompting for most things and I can’t go anywhere alone. Did anyone else experienced this? Or something similar,idk,I just wanted to share

i see so many compilation videos of "hardest to watch videos" or "cringiest crash outs" and it's just a neurodivergent person being neurodivergent.

or it will be like someone crying and yelling because they're getting harassed or bullied and it's like "yeah let's make even more fun of this person for their reaction to be tormented"

the autistic struggle of needing a community of people with your shared interests vs never fitting in anywhere

“Everyone has a little bit of autism” Okay if you wanna put it that way, some of us have a lot of it

The people who have a little bit aren’t struggling under the heavier weight and pressure of exaggerated senses and stim related behaviors (amongst other challenges) of those who don’t have a little bit

Everyone has melanin but the people who have a little bit of melanin aren’t diagnosed with dark-skin like the ones who have a lot of it

Does this make as much sense as it did in my head

when yall vent to me PLEASE specify if you want advice or sympathy, my autistic ass can't take it
