It's a shame how people will discriminate and view us as "bad" instead of getting to know us and understanding what we have/go though. I opened up to a few people, but only one of them actually talks to me often which is my significant other. He doesn't understand everything I have to go through, but at least he sympathizes. I understand what you're going through and it's hard, that's what this forum is here for; you can be your true self here. It's not as great as being able to be your true self in real life, but at least it's something.
