This shouldn’t come as a big surprise as we all masked in order to fit in with a neurotypical society that rejected us for being different.

We’re highly sensitive people with deep emotional worlds.

We never felt seen or heard. We never felt validated or understood.

So we created personas to try and fit in. Many of us became people pleasers.

But pretending to be someone we are not eats away at our souls — and we burnout — repeatedly.

I had a series of burnouts over decades which eventually accumulated into a fuck off breakdown with an extra serving of an existential crisis on the side.
