Sad to see someone leave, sometimes it is very hard , even when around similar folks, to feel comfortable or express yourself.
I'm posting this too late as he's gone already so won't see it, I've been away from the forum for a while, trying to figure myself out ,failing at that, so came back knowing that there's a form of safety here and no judgement. Hopefully others feel the same.
no form of trying to figure yourself out is failure. all self learning is positive. nice to meet you Autistician. im new here so trying to figure out if i feel safe or not so i very much understand.
It's all been a big learning exercise, I'm just starting to wonder what I'm actually trying to figure out and how to use that to some benefit. Most of the time I don't like the answers I come up with so I dismiss myself and carry on masking through life.
It's safe here, even if at times it feels like there's friction or misunderstanding, I feel it's somewhere I can be quite open, in fact now I don't have a therapist any longer it's the only place.
