@wildly_shy: This has been part of my experience unmasking and being authentic. Men HATED it. They would constantly call me rude, aggressive, a brat, and some women did this too. But the majority of people that told me this were men. the irony here is that I started acting more like a man. ##fyp#n#neurodivergenta#autsitica#adhdf#fyppppppppppppppppppppppp

I found ADHD masking completely exhausting. But then I realised that the only person I was fooling was me and that I didn’t need to. I realised I wasn’t broken, just different. Which inspired me to produce a song about experiences. It’s called ‘Ghost In The Signal’. It’s on Spotify etc. But it’s maybe not for everyone. I’ve been told it’s very relatable and has brought some to tears

for me it was narcissists because I stopped humoring them & started enforcing boundaries.

When I began unmasking I noticed my laughs, compliments and gestures towards others came naturally. Before then, it was almost always forced, but ive realised I’m not a cold person, I was just drained

It’s so freeing just to be authentic

apparently we're "inherently unlikeable". so no point masking anyway. I'm glad I stopped but I wish I knew it'd be impossible to mask again when needed. Once you stop that's it

For me it has been women. They seem more in-tune with social norms, and I get nasty comments for dressing comfortably, not being fake with small talk, etc.

See I worked in childcare several places and saw it heavy in women. They also realize that we have little regard for social hierarchy and wont beg for approval. The lead ladies REALLY dont like that

my daughter is 11, was diagnosed at 8 and to keep her from masking I ask her " do you really feel that way or is that what you think you are suppose to feel", she is fierce creature to behold!

People seem scared of me ever since I quit masking as much, apparently I don't smile much and don't go along with "jokes" or ask them to explain why an insult is funny

I’ve been thinking lately that I feel like I lost my personality but I’m realizing that I just got tired of being fake. 😅 I don’t think people like me much anymore.

Yep 💯. And when you're authentic, insecure people don't like it and they cannot tell you why.

My unmasking really started around the time I quit drinking and people got really concerned because I wasn’t as social anymore
