the devil couldn't reach me so he made me neurodivergent enough that i feel extremely out of place everywhere i go out high functioning enough that im expected to function exactly like a neurotypical person on a daily basis
I'm tired forever and I hate my face and I hate my family and I hate where I live and I have no friends and my degree is useless and I have no hobbies or passions and I am worthless
umm i need reassurance that my presence is wanted but i can't ask for reassurance because that's really
Embarrassing and it wouldn't feel genuine if i asked for it
