I don't know. It's just an uncomfortable feeling I guess. Probably a mix of my hate for attention, I don't even like complements, to a worry about how they'll treat it and react. Both of my siblings have depression and they were willing to help them, but they've always treated them differently from me, they're both girls and when they sure their interests, it's congratulated, but when I've shared mine it's often met with criticism. I guess it's some mid of that.
Hey I actually managed to have a conversation about it and we're scheduling an appointment! The conversation was insanely funny too, my mom was talking about how time oriented I was as a child, like if we went to the store mid day it would get me so angry, and how much I loved lining up and sorting my hotwheels. I was so shocked that such clear signs had been given when I was a child, and they didn't realize ir that I just was laughing, and now I've got an appointment
