Not here much, but posting today due to #unmasking discomfort. Taken me years to unmask after learning to keep the hell away from most contact with people (read: unsympathetic unknowledgeable NTs who live here). It feels like the more I unmask even my few friends distance themselves. They’re mostly old mates with kids and families (I’m not a parent). I wonder am I too odd/unrelatable now the mask is broken? Am I stuck in a damned limbo forever unable to be accepted?@autistics

Good article linking deep #burnout with (involuntary) #unmasking:
