I love the #ActuallyAutistic community I've found here. This is a space where I feel safer than I've ever felt online.
But I still find myself expending significant energy rethinking, editing, overthinking, and imagining all the ways a post I write could be judged, criticized, taken the wrong way, or otherwise winding up with me feeling like I fucked up or misread a situation or said something wrong.
Sigh. No wonder I struggle to connect with people. There's very few people in the world that I speak openly and freely with, without that self-censorship and anxiety of being misinterpreted.
Maybe 2025 is the year I throw caution to the wind and just start saying what I want to say. And if I say something wrong accidentally, then I'm happy to own my mistakes and I can learn to cope with making them.
