One of my old friends is now transmasc and I didn’t even know 😭
#lowkey checked out socially for two years and paying the price#trying to get back in touch with friends and all#and staying in touch too…#thinking about it…a lot of my social issues at times related to not being able to relate to people around me#whether it was superficial stuff like having nothing in common or me being out as enby and confusing people#while not having the backbone to like. insist on my pronouns or stand on business#or just me being the only black person/POC in an environment and feeling wayyy out of my element#but once I felt like I found ‘my people’ whether thru complaining about yt people with poc friends or complaining about immigrant parents#with other second gen kids or like geeking out over random shit with other fellow undiagnosed ND ppl (often times a combo of all three or#more) I didn’t feel so out of place#and also looking back at a text exchange I had with an enby friend back in high school…boy I was struggling HARD with stereotype threat#I often (and sometimes still do) toned myself down because I didn’t want to be branded as a ‘crazy liberal’#but I love it when I don’t have to do that. I think my past experiences have made me more guarded than usual. or idk maybe that’s just#adulthood#all of my close friends since like late elementary school have been first/second gen immigrant and/or poc and/or queer (whether we realized#it at the time) and/or (undiagnosed) neurodivergent#anyway I’m just trying to out things in perspective for myself and trying this thing called not being too hard on yourself#but rather just look at things objectively. also having younger siblings go thru things I went thru helps#sometimes too my long term memery is shit so I forget things that happened until one day I Remember#and unfortunately this happens with old friends. I’m totally like this now since I’m procrastinating on 9997 things I need to talk care of#and I’ve been pretty lonely and isolated for a while. when that hasn’t always been the case even when I felt like I didn’t fit in with peers#who literally lived in the same building as I did#I’m identifying the fact that it’s just…adulthood+unique life experiences (not trying to sound like an nlog here)+me being a shitty texter#that has lead to that. oh and also being in a new city and working + doing school 😭#but it’s not like things are that bad I have a lot going for me. this just helps with figuring out next steps and how to adjust#and remembering why it’s easy for me to feel out of place at times. yeah. that’s just how it is#oh and mental illness. can’t forget that…#anywho gotta eat and take care of my shit so that u can have a blast this summer#Uchiha-gaeshi overshares#txt
