Hi one of the WORST parts of being autistic is mirroring.
Mirroring is when you copy someone’s behavior for acceptance. Ok that’s a really broad definition. Here’s a better one.
Mirroring, for me, meant I want really sure what parts of my personality were me and things I genuinely enjoyed, and what parts we toxic, or bad traits, or things I picked up from exes or abusers.
It is genuinely horrific. Like I’ve gone the majority of my life not knows who I am as a person.
You’re lying if you’d say that doesn’t scare you. Not having a sense of self damages so much.
Yay typos in an important thread.
Just. A CRUMB OF PATIENCE, PLS BRAIN.
that did not mean I didn’t need that crumb of serotonin, you asshole.
