Does anyone else have it so embedded into their head that they're unpopular and don't have friends that they genuinely fail to realize how wanted they are? SO often I feel like a loser compared to my friend group because I'm less social and was left out a lot in the past, but then it takes someone else pointing out that I'm always doing something away from home to be like "wait.. I may feel less desirable than my friends, but I HAVE friends! A group of them! When did that happen?!" I guess that's just the mindset of someone who grew up being picked on, you often don't realize that things are actually different now and are progressively getting better every day. Especially being gay + neurodivergent in a group of friends where many of them aren't, naturally my brain tells me that I don't belong there- but here we are going strong as the best friend group I've ever been a part of. Don't let your brain try to trap you in a time loop!!
