I’ve been in a bit of a tough spot with my (highly suspected) autism and haven’t been able to be my masked self in quite a bit. I’m not sure if anyone can relate, but my masking used to be somewhat controllable but now I’m really bad at it—like to the point where I’m hesitant to go out in public because I’ve forgotten how to human. Like I used to be decent at acting in general, but that’s no longer the case

But anyway. I wish so desperately that I could just have access to how NTs conduct themselves in conversation just so I could have a framework for reference. Does something like this exist anywhere? Think of it as me copying people and changing up their behavior just a bit (which is how I’ve gone through my life)

    this is how I feel anytime I read any of their comments ❤️

    I want to thank you, though - because as much as it pains me to know that someone is as confused and lost as I am, it is also heartening to know that I am not the only person so confused and lost

    So

    Sorry everyone, but also, thank you for being vulnerable and showing us your struggles, it helps a lot

      Comrade I am probably too vulnerable on the bear site lol I think a lot of the things I post people usually tell their friends but this seems like the safest way to get it all out 🥲

      But where else? meow-hug
