Are you ever afraid that you scare people off

[Jenisautistic]

Well, for some time. I’ve had this belief that somehow I scared people off even in my own community I never intended to, and I want to avoid something like this in the future

I look back on my life I know that there is a plan mapped for me in this life. But sometimes I wonder what my life would’ve been like if things were a bit different.

Sometimes I wonder if my dedication for knowledge, advocacy, and getting the inside scoop on all types of developmental disabilities has draw me too far sometimes or at least in the past four years I was unable to properly communicate and it seemed like everyone I met I lost in someway most of the people I knew or who I met for a while before this. I want to be myself I don’t wanna fault my brain being broken so to speak, on myself, but sometimes I wonder if I actually did accidentally scare people off and how can I cope and deal with this fear now and in the future

Anyone feel anything similar maybe in their childhood?

You really inspire me. I am tearing up. You have come thru horrible situation that you shared, yet you just kept marching forward. I still am shocked at what happened to you, (horrible incident). Yet, you come here, champion for those like us, navigate life, and are kind enough to share it with us. I have seen you blossom into a loving and caring person. Don't overthink anything. Some people like me, some don't, l accept that. Those people have lost out on knowing what a beautiful soul you are.

Strong women always scare others. When we have to fight for everything we stand for and stay strong, some people won't like us, but you don't need to appease them. You need to honor yourself first AND always yourself.
