Hello Hormonally Intersex People, I'm Here To Kill The Imposter Syndrome Demon In Your Head. Hypoandrogenism

ughhh fine *experiences emotional growth*

Autistic people sometimes struggle with apologizing, because they're never taught how to do it the right way.

When autistic people are taught how to apologize, they're often taught that the sincerity of the apology is determined by how well they can hide their disability.

Not enough eye contact = insincere apology

Struggling to phrase it = insincere apology

Wrong tone = insincere apology

Asking questions to figure out how to prevent doing it again = insincere apology (and "arguing" or "making excuses")

Meanwhile, neurotypical people can continue their patterns while still being considered sincere by these standards.

i don’t know if i’m fighting demons or if i am the demon at this point

we’re often taught not to cut ties with people because we might need them someday. but today, i pray that i never have to rely on anyone who has hurt, ridiculed, or embarrassed me. may God always provide for me abundantly so i never find myself in that position.

Fuck this one hits home.

"what was your childhood like?" idk I wasn't there
