i have asd but i’ve realized i mask so well that it completely made me lose my sense of identity. i remember growing up i would watch shows and try to copy the way girls dressed or talked or acted. and now trying to discover who i am & what i like is so difficult because i can’t differentiate what is genuinely ME and what i just developed as a habit from masking. i don’t know what i like to wear. sometimes i wear baggy clothes and feel insecure, sometimes i wear crop tops and feel like i’m just trying to be like someone else. i don’t have ANY hobbies because i honestly don’t know what interests me. i just don’t know myself ?

      Masking is hard I can't stop when I'm alone

      i feel this. i’ve been thinking about masking a lot recently and how it relates to me and it’s weird because i never really thought of myself as someone who masks, but i think it’s more that i don’t mask super intentionally or consciously. it’s so hard to tell what is me masking and what is me genuinely, not just with things i like but how i act all the time and stuff. it’s sucks.

      WOW…. It’s like I typed this post, because OMG this is exactly my struggle to the T. I thought I was the only one. It’s good to know I’m not alone now. If you wave talk about it my inbox is open 💜
