i grew up being a people pleaser who would constantly mask in public as i have a fear of being a burden upon others.
this fear eventually lead to me purposefully isolating myself from others as i dont want to go through the embarassment of slipping up infront of someone and revealing my true ND self. its like NT people all have a secret magical scroll that tells them how to do shit except me
im also terrible at managing executive functions and i envy those who dont struggle with my issues. unless im on ritalin i cant mentally handle the simplest tasks to the point where they all build up and i have to deal with it completely stressed the fuck out. in which the cycle then repeats itself all over again
i feel so much shame around all of it, to others who are aware of this but dont understand my situation they view me as simply lazy but dont understand the guilt i carry.
i dont want to live like this, i wish i was neurotypical, and what i see in myself as a result of being ND is why i cant stand other neurodivergents so much
