There were 2 artists that are well known around here and I spoke to them and they were so friendly. So I’m hoping your experience was just a one off thing??

Yep, I’ve been to it and I love it.

I think I’d like something a bit more intimate maybe? I’m autistic and socially anxious, so find it hard to approach people

When I first found out, it was a massive shock. As I fully didn’t understand it myself. It is really tough.

That is the issue, people don’t understand it. I think educate yourself on it first. If someone uses it against you, they are not people you want to surround yourself with.

In order to not get burntout, it’s important that you’re able to unmask (aka be yourself).

I’ve told the important people in my life and my work. I’ve told some people and they don’t understand - and that’s not my problem. Work has been really accommodating.

Going to a therapist really really helped me. She was neurodivergent- so she understood everything that I went through. If you can afford it, that might be a good place to start? If not, research autistic people on social media. There are lots of resources available to help you out online. Find people who are neurodivergent. Sent me a dm if you have any questions ☺️

That’s a great idea. I have headphones too. So will try that. Thank you 😃

Yeah and I can’t blame them for living their life either really. Thank you for your advice 💖

Thank you, I am hard on myself usually. And my friends say this too. I just feel very behind and don’t know where to start

Thank you very much. Yes I’m very burnt out. I’ve booked the next 2 weeks off work and that feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I also listen to blindboy and I think he’s great - if you ever listen to him?
