I kept the good people when I left Christianity, and I haven’t been abandoned by people for that reason. I’ve been abandoned cause I’ve let my mask down feeling comfortable, and ended up driving people away because I’m too much when I don’t mask. I’ve lost jobs over and over again because I’ve gotten comfortable, stopped masking and haven’t been able to integrate properly. I am fully functional when I mask, and a husk of a human when I don’t.

Really wish I’d known about this autism shit before age 42.
