this is absolutely true for the longest time i’ve felt this way and was never able to explain it without sounding odd it came out in therapy 3 years ago right before i was diagnosed something has always felt wrong with me like i’m a burden to my friends and family a pest to everyone around me no matter what achievements i made i always felt slow and stupid compared to others i shut in all my feelings held back from sharing ideas at work and constantly felt embarrassed and ashamed of who i am this subreddit has helped me realize that i’m not alone therapy helped me realize that i’m not broken we’re not broken just unique
