I just realized that even the way I text involves masking, and it’s pretty heavy, at that. No wonder just texting people on recovery days takes so much out of me. I think I’ll try sending a reference image of tonal indicators to people I’d still like to text a little on these kinds of days and see if not masking in my texts allows me to talk to them a bit. If it doesn’t work, well… I’ll go from there. I’m glad I noticed this, though.

      I do the same, and I've been avoiding texting anyone because of it. I think I'll try your idea to see if I can maintain some semblance of continuous friendships. Thanks. ❤️

        @DitsyDiabetic Thank you! I haven’t seen anyone talk about this before despite being deeply involved in the community. I know it’s probably just due to chance, but I do wish I’d seen it somewhere at some point. Either way, I realize it now, and I can share this struggle with understanding people like you. 🧡

          @serendi I’ve come to find out i mask heavily in any social situation, whether in person or over the internet. It’s just become a part of who i am. If you wanna talk my inbox is open 😇
