I feel far more liberated with age.

A phase I often repeat to others is " I don't give a shite".

This does not mean that I do not care about others, no, but that I do not care about what others might think of me.

Mostly it is another's anxiety which is attempting to project onto me.

Shield yourself from other peoples fantasy of how they see the world.

Learn to say "no thank you - I don't want your worries, I have my own"

Right!? I'm reasonably sure I'd be in a formaldehyde jar by now if I had ever lived the way 'normies' do. There's no honesty in representing myself unless I'm diving headfirst off some bandwagon.

Liberating.

I have found being cut off by my friends and sister has been liberating once I got used to it.

It's the parents that I'm struggling with. I'm used to disappointing them and I'm fine with that. It's the not telling them when they are completely in the wrong that's hard. My Mum will cry and BOTH her husbands will blame me and I hate arguments.

My mother added so much extra freaking stress to my life I had to let her go.

You can. It’s a bit difficult at first but you feel free eventually. About as difficult as it is for me to be sleeping right now :roll:

It is a really hard thing to do
But it opens your eyes to what love is.
Actions, not words.
It's interesting how others come out of the woodwork when you start showing yourself some respect.
