People can tell I'm different

Post Reply New Topic

I would pass for someone normal i think. I was way more locked in my little world once ago.
And then it showed more... -- But with the years i have grew to look more normal.

Do people think it might happen?

Peoples change, i change at least

I think I have the ability to pass in most situations, unless of course you live or work with me.

But all my life I had reactions like:

"You are weird."
"OMG you are so weird!"
"She seems like an alien/from a different planet."
"She is fake." (I get why they said this though - I was masking a lot from age 15 until 27).
"I like how you are trying to pretend that you are normal."
"You are nuts. I am nuts too, but you are more nuts than me."
"You have issues."
"You are so confused."

And so on. Some of these I am proud of now, but some really did hurt me at the time.

People have always seen me as different; I got bullied all the way through school for it, abused and even in the last few months I've had complete strangers make inappropriate comments about me. I know there are nice people out there, but it has put me off going anywhere in public (hence why I drive almost everywhere).
