minus-squareSharkEatingBreakfastlinkfedilink14•2 months agoNone. No one. And only one tries to understand but doesn’t quite get it, but, damn, I respect & appreciate her for trying. Most just tell me to “try harder [to be normal]” and I want to fucking scream. Being misunderstood with no attempt to even try to understand causes me to pull away from people. Fuck 'em.
