Self-awareness and Mental Health

Very much so🥺👍🏼

Yes! I grew up shy, and wouldn’t talk to people unless spoken to first. Basically forcing me to talk to them. I was a good kid, but people thought I was weird and that’s what made me realize I guess. So I tried to play that weird narrative. I would just tell them “I’m weird” like as a disclaimer. Severe anxiety from trying to be normal. Tried not to do anything that’d be considered weird. Now I have a love hate relationship with people, I’m kinda biased and would much rather surround myself with other neurodivergent people. And after living away from my overbearing mom for two years, I’ve slowly gained so much self awareness, and have been starting to heal.

yea i was extremely shy growing up and was always way too self aware and still am. it's like my body feels too real and i'm pumping blood and it's scary and gross. i actually don't have a lot of care for a lot of different things, maybe not "care" but apathy? is that what you could be feeling? good wishes to you 💕
