The thing is whenever I have these negative thoughts and overthinking worries and comparing myself to others over certain life situations I seem to forget about my condition and forgetting that, it is partly the reason behind me being not having experienced certain things in life so far.

I know I'm past the days as kid when I saw Disney films but I remember when I saw a clip from The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Quasimodo saying "I'm tired of trying to be something I'm not," is a powerful expression of his internal struggle and desire for acceptance. It's a poignant moment in the movie where he realizes that his attempts to fit in with others have been futile. He's tired of striving to be someone he's not, recognizing that he needs to accept himself and his unique circumstances.
