      I totally get what you’re talking about!! After my breakup a while ago, it was very hard for me to get back into socializing bc I had halfway torn down my walls and all of a sudden I needed to learn how to “act normal” again in order to make new friends. So, sadly, I’m back to masking most of the time, but I hope I can get back to that point some day! I’m glad you’ve been able to find a friend that’s made you feel that comfortable tho!!

      Yes. Since getting my own place with my spouse I stopped masking so much that when I started college I was How did I do that for so long but now I’m so comfortable not masking it’s not such a big deal
