As someone who is neurodivergent, you struggle to connect with others. The constant feeling of being misunderstood often ignites frustration or anger, especially when advocating for your needs. Classmates, coworkers, ro mantic partners, and even friends have been shaming, rather than supportive. Because of this constant rejection, you have become accustomed to hiding what you are feeling, sensing, experiencing, and thinking. Over time, hiding becomes an instinctual way of trying to remain safe. This results in a pattern of self-doubt, anger, and exhaustion as you try to fit into a world that doesn’t understand your unique needs.
