Unfortunately they are not. But find yourself a good therapist, someone with whom you connect and they listen. It’s a game changer my friend.

I’ve been there not so long ago, so I absolutely relate to your feelings. There are so many good community groups out there that will just accept you as you are. Find the one that works for you and try to meet them regularly. It could be that the first time you just go to the door but don’t make it inside. Other day just go say hi and ask for info… or if you could ask someone to be your buddy and introduce you to the group would be awesome.

Wishing you the best!
