I don't have a solution, I'm just thinking out loud after a recent conversation with a good friend because I bet some folks on here find some part of this relatable.
If you want to hear the real shit it can be really easy to miss the fact that people love you because for a huge variety of reasons FEELING loved as an AuDHD person is a huge issue. Sometimes I know it, but can't feel it.
It's easy to know I'm in the sun while always feeling cold.
But in general I think the old saying about how you can't love anyone else if you can't love yourself is rubbish. I love many people and often don't like myself. Easy
The real version for me is that I can't accept love from others if I don't love myself. And that's much harder to work through IMHO
The more I try to untangle stuff in my head the more I realize yes, I have close relationships. But for various reasons in a lot of ways that's still hard to trust, to accept, or to get joy from. It's often more like feeling tolerated.
Which isn't to say I'm all about letting people hurt me with "they don't know better" as an excuse, but often with friends or family members people really are trying hard to help but may not know how.
It can be tricky for everyone involved!
If you don’t have a trans person in your current orbit it may be difficult to fully understand what is happening to them. There are extremely good reasons to help trans people if you can right now, in whatever way possible. Today is a day of visibility in a time where being visible is dangerous.
