#humaning is hard

Me @ me: You did not fail the social interaction. Social interaction is not a thing you can fail. You are allowed to be awkward. Even if you DID fail the social interaction, it's okay. You don't know most of those people and the one you do know is a self-professed awkward person who will not judge you. You are fine.

Stop giving me homework I just wanna be a weird little creature and create art and write poetry in the comfort of my quant little room with all the little trinkets, plushies and shiny things that make me happy, stop making me socialize and be human it’s sm work and I’m exhausted as is…

Well this feels very pointed to get in my emails first thing this morning!

I’ve been having a bit of a Week where I feel like I’m constantly making wrong calls and that I’m upsetting people by having no filter, letting them down by being anxious or not remembering things or being in touch enough, or, conversely, chasing after them when they are trying to get some distance.

I’m so lucky to have a lot of amazing people in my life (both offline and on) despite all of my unhelpful characteristics. But I can’t shake the feeling that at some point I’m going to make one mistake too many and they’ll drift away.

Ironically I sign for loads of these seminars to get the playback links then never actually get around to watching them cos… ADHD.

I am not always good at being kind to myself. Even silly mistakes or miscommunications feel like a lot.

Mistakes aren’t insurmountable. They’re very human. And yet, they feel bigger than that somehow to me, sometimes.

And I know why a single misstep can like a whole immovable mountain sometimes. Because some foundations are made of glass. And even if this one isn’t, the past is full of them.

Tonight I hurt my own feelings and then got mad at myself. But I’m the first person to be gentle with other people.

I’m less good at being gentle with myself. So consider this a friendly reminder that we’re all works in progress.
