I'm feeling like I have been wearing a tight shell and a mask for most of my life, not really knowing what was inside, always pretending to be normal and trying to be nice. Not knowing who I really was and afraid of it. Ashamed of my stupidity mixed with high intelligence.

Now I am curious - discovering who I really am and trying to make others accept it.

Also I feel like I'm fighting all the time. Planning strategies to deal with people and following campaigns, even in the simplest situations like doing grocery or talking to my inlaws.

Thus, I'm often exhausted, but since I've got my aspie identity, I'm much less anxious than I used to be.
