Writing is such a delicate bubble of belief anyway that it's a vulnerable spot for most people, I think.

I think part of it is bc due to bullying in my earlier years and low selfesteem and a lot of internalized ableism (I'm neurodivergent) writing was the one thing I felt I was "good for" in a lot of ways (yeah I know it's not healthy but I was in a bad place back then)

So seeing all the hate that some people gave the ONE thing I felt for the longest time was my only redeeming skill just... yeah

I'm getting better and thankfully i've grown a lot more self awarness

Wow now that I put it out there like that.. I just feel like young me just needs a hug.

RSD

[(Anonymous)]

I was going to say, have you explored the concept of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, which is essentially a (usually neurodivergent) traumatic learned reaction to anything that even whispers like it could be a rejection or criticism. Because when we are kids constantly getting social rejections it sucks, and we've learned that when our friends (or "friends") criticize something that they know we do, in front of us, it means we need to stop doing it if we want to keep the friendship. Because people have ended friendships with us for that thing and even less helpful things.

RSD isn't a formal diagnosis, it's an observation from within the neurodivergent community that has proved extremely useful to many of us.

(Likely AuDHD here; diagnosed on the ADHD but not the Au, my dad definitely was autistic but that insight arrived too late in his life to make much of a difference)
