Neurodivergent individual who used to be the weird kid then wrecked their mental health masking here, trying to shape yourself into something you are not in order to blend in is not sustainable and will leave you burnt out and hating yourself. Try to find your people who feel safe to be around. It's much better for your well-being. It gets easier as you get older and learn to just not give a shit but it's an uphill struggle until you reach that point. Remember that you are not defective, just stuck in a society that is actively hostile to anyone who differs from the norm.
The comfortable euromurderghouls who sit on twitter all day cheering on as thousands of ukrainians are sent to their deaths deserve a millenia of humiliation.
Much like how you are supposed to ask eastern europeans about communism except for the ones that tell you it was actually good, which are obviously brainwashed or just grumpy old people who are nostalgic for the times they were young and their gentials worked (literally heard this one on redditfront a few years back).
I don't think you fucked up by taking care of your health. Anyone who values you as a human being should support you and respect your need for space when you are struggling medically. I myself experienced a rough mental health crisis a few years ago when I felt like my friends were downplaying it and feeling entitled to me being present and functioning at my usual baseline while I was struggling to keep myself together. It felt horrible and dehumanizing and I am sorry you are going through this.
I remember hearing rumors for a few years now that the US military is full of evangelical doomsday cultists in the higher ranks. Always seemed like one of those actually entirely plausible conspiracy theories but I wasn't quite ready for it to be actually true.
I wish yanks would just shut up. Shutting up when you can't do anything better is praxis. The burgerreich is participating in a genocide, kidnapping heads of state and pushing us closer and closer to WW3 just as my life was somewhat stabilizing for the first time in years and I'm not even allowed a little Death to Amerikkka as a treat without getting scolded by some western "leftist".
