    Always being told you are wrong growing up puts pressure on masking to always try to be right and gives an all-or-nothing thinking.

    It is OK to not be perfect. It is something I have recently accepted about myself, and hope others can as well. 🩷

      This is something I’ve discovered about myself lately and I’m now trying to tackle, and hopefully start to dismantle.

      I did a fuck up the other day and may have unintentionally offended someone (a combination of mental and sensory overload led to a louder than expected verbal outburst of frustration)

      I’ve put out an apology and have asked for an accommodation to help with the sensory aspect, but I’m still churning inside and over thinking because of my shitty social and communication ‘skills’

      Thanks for your comment, it sums things up ‘perfectly’ 🤣
