I fucking hate myself I can’t mask and therefore can’t interact with people like I seriously can’t go on living

All I can tell u is u will find people that don’t care if you can’t mask. I am now 20 and I just recently met some of my best friends who I don’t need to mask around. It will take time but they are out there feeling the exact same thing.

You do realize that interacting with people is how humans survive, right? 🤣

Yeah humans are social creatures we need interaction. If you have a thing (autism) that makes that a challenge. Unsurprising you get anxious and depressed when you try and try and try only to fall short because of said thing

You get anxious and depressed because you’re telling yourself it’s the most important thing in the world ever that also entirely determines your worth and health. “Social creatures” means we live in packs, not that you need to have some interaction quota
