This is why I just gave up masking, because neurotypicals don't see the struggle so they expect more and more until you crack. If I am unabashedly "crazy" I don't get asked to be more normal than the normies.

People don't demand that of me....I demand it of myself and kinda force myself to carry other people even if they have other people to lean on. I need to stop.
