Why does every single conversation I have with someone feel like a performance. I am performing the act of communicating which to most, comes naturally but for me, it’s like I need 100% of my cognitive capacity and to constantly calculate the best response, best tone, best gestures for the given moment and then do it over and over again perfectly until the conversation ends in order to have had a normal one and it’s so exhausting I feel like a fucking robot
Sending love and strength to all the ghosties trying their hardest to hide their struggles. It’s hard, and it’s exhausting, and you’re doing your gosh darn best xx
