@wildly_shy: This has been part of my experience unmasking and being authentic. Men HATED it. They would constantly call me rude, aggressive, a brat, and some women did this too. But the majority of people that told me this were men. the irony here is that I started acting more like a man. ##fyp#n#neurodivergenta#autsitica#adhdf#fyppppppppppppppppppppppp
for me it was narcissists because I stopped humoring them & started enforcing boundaries.

It’s so freeing just to be authentic

Marie Klüver-Kristensen :
When I began unmasking I noticed my laughs, compliments and gestures towards others came naturally. Before then, it was almost always forced, but ive realised I’m not a cold person, I was just drained

apparently we're "inherently unlikeable". so no point masking anyway. I'm glad I stopped but I wish I knew it'd be impossible to mask again when needed. Once you stop that's it

See I worked in childcare several places and saw it heavy in women. They also realize that we have little regard for social hierarchy and wont beg for approval. The lead ladies REALLY dont like that

For me it has been women. They seem more in-tune with social norms, and I get nasty comments for dressing comfortably, not being fake with small talk, etc.

my daughter is 11, was diagnosed at 8 and to keep her from masking I ask her " do you really feel that way or is that what you think you are suppose to feel", she is fierce creature to behold!

My unmasking really started around the time I quit drinking and people got really concerned because I wasn’t as social anymore

People seem scared of me ever since I quit masking as much, apparently I don't smile much and don't go along with "jokes" or ask them to explain why an insult is funny

I literally just told my parents a couple of weeks ago that I was going to stop hiding parts of myself to make them feel comfortable. Takes a long time, sometimes. About to see how that goes.

Brittany Brianne 🖤🐶 :
I'm normally bubbly so they love me but I'm also so honest so I'll deliver soul crushing info in a bubbly way and that makes them confused. They typically decide they like me enough to use me.

Yep 💯. And when you're authentic, insecure people don't like it and they cannot tell you why.

Haha, jokes on them - I only mask to get what I want out of *them*. (It’s manipulative and I sometimes feel a little guilty, but what I want is efficiency/cooperation, so I don’t feel too badly)
