7) Welcome to my villain era?
But the effects speak for themselves.
The parts of me I tried to keep hidden from myself, and the world, tend to remind me of them.
The parts that put myself and my needs first before helping those around me.
The parts of myself that left others feeling unnoticed, unloved, or like they didn’t matter.
The parts of myself that got defensive when shown themselves.
The parts of me that think there’s something special about ME in this world of billions of people.
Basically any showing of ego felt wrong.
But there’s also parts of me that I’ve always embraced that also show the effects.
6) Un-Masking: I figured it out!!
Alright guys I think I figured it out.
EVERYONE has a mask. Not just neurodivergent.
That’s why it’s such a confusing topic.
THIS society created an ever looming fear of being ourselves. You get in trouble for being human at work. You show too much emotion, or not enough, and are treated like a pariah.
It has forced everyone to wake up every day and put on this mask of what the world expects to see today.
I have not fully completed the process myself but I’m well on my way and will be fully unmasked when I need to be. I just couldn’t wait to share what I’ve figured out so you could all join me on the journey to being PROUDLY ourselves.
I promise there’s no paywall or winding journey to no information.
It is all in THIS BLOG POST.
Maybe a little winding journey I do have Adhd…
