A quick test for this is, are you good at making a good first impression or short time of friendship and then it kinda falls off with time? If yes, masking is likely in play.
Can confirm. This is my entire life.

Lucky me, I’ve never been ‘with it’.
I don’t like it, haven’t really needed it, prefer public transport and have terrible motor skills.
I really enjoyed reading your story. It’s honest about your faults and kind to yourself at the same time. I hope I can find a way to see my own life in a similar way.
I get it, most of my life I’ve had episodes that are more like yours, and my brain just found this and it doesn’t want to let go for a reason. The first couple of months I thought it was the best escape, but once I realized I couldn’t stop, I’ve been despairing. I feel like I’m going mad but more quietly rather than explosively.
Daydreaming. I’m sick of it, but I keep going there.
I never knew I wanted to know this much about centaurs.
I was accelerated (though nowhere like this) and for me, personally, it wasn’t great. 14 was not the right age for me to decide to be a doctor and enroll. I did the whole thing and I have the diploma but I never worked in the field because I had completely burned out by then.
Of course I’m also AuDHD and maybe my mental health wouldn’t be any better in different circumstances, we’ll never know.
A small pond the size of a large pond
This is how I feel with my little wild garden. I just visit, show some encouragement, and remove an obstacle or two.
All the time. My life has been pretty good when it comes to external circumstances, but I have a severe lifelong mood disorder.
So I’m constantly feeling bad and there’s never any ‘reason’.
I get this on my toes on cold days. It always freaks me out even though I know what’s going on.
Same in Sweden, it’s understood that it’s going to suck and you’ll be uncomfortable but that it’ll pass. It’s a given for a lot of people here that it won’t be a problem to stop working while sick. Just rest and small comfort measures (for me, nose spray, ibuprofen if needed, sleeping and whining to myself).
You painted these yourself? They look so good! (I haven’t seen the originals).
I’m not stating whether he considered it or not, but Brian May being good at one thing (physics) doesn’t mean he’s good at other things.
Allemansrätten is my favorite part of living in Sweden. I come from a country that often ranks at the top of biodiversity metrics for many types of life, and yet I haven’t seen any of it because everything is private.
I’m a Spanish speaker that is afraid of French. I cannot make any of those sounds.
Seems like only the US is available. I am also curious about a product like this that’d deliver to Sweden.
I’m not good at it, but I’ve been using a hard foam roller whenever tension gets bad enough that doing something about it jumps up the priority queue.
Funny, seeing them at the top gave me a favorable impression of them, but seems to have caused the opposite for you. My impression was probably due to, like someone else said, feeling like maybe they’re not being drilled with as much anti-union propaganda.
But I’m from a place where you have to go out of your way not to be part of a union.
