on one hand, it’s helped a lot, figuring out that i am actually extroverted, just also autistic and riddled with anxiety (not to mention that deep-set fear that i’m not good enough and never will be and most people probably secretly hate me, even if they don’t know it yet — thanks, mom!), because now i have a better idea of what i need and about some things that work for me on the other hand, it sucks because now i get to be stuck in places like, “i really need to go be around people who aren’t all passive-aggressive psychologically toxic emotional manipulators like my mother and her sister, but i feel so worn down already from dealing with them and the situation with grandma and the miscellaneous family dramas that i have no stake and want to remain uninvolved in, ffs stop trying to make me have an opinion about [topic of the day] “—so, i feel like i might get overwhelmed way too easily and idk if it’d be better for me to be alone or to go be with people. also, i still assume that most people don’t actually want me around unless they outright tell me otherwise, but lbr, i’d do that even if i still thought i’m an introvert, so it’s kinda beside the point”
