Invisible struggles may be the worst kind of struggles. Or if you’re not blending in, people insist that “you should try.” It’s especially hard coming from family members who know you but refuse to acknowledge that you can’t just “”“change your brain”“” and “”“be normal”“”.
This can also apply to invisible illnesses & mental health. Please know that there are people out there who get you. You’re not alone.
This feels so condescending towards neurotypicals in the funniest way.
“Oh, you don’t experience this tormenting struggle and can fit in with the majority of society! Good for you!” LMAO
Tbf, I know that’s not the intent, of course, but it still made me laugh!
Hahaha yeah I can see that! And in a way, sometimes it does feel a bit condescending, depending on how condescending the other person is about it all. But mostly what I aim for is being genuinely pleased for them!
(and just to be clear, all of these thoughts happens only in my head, I don’t want to be condescending to anyone!)
