Aww, please don't regret the post. I completely understand. Sometimes, I post things and become terrified that someone will bash my brains in with hateful or judgmental comments. But there comes a point where we can no longer hide who we are.

I feel the same way. Like I've crossed the threshold of being mentally ill and having issues to FUBAR level. Most of the time, I feel like an alien among others. The looks, the awkward pauses... I can't help the involuntary movements and emotions that overwhelm me, sometimes. It really scares people. Sometimes they say patronizing and mean things but I'm used to it, even understand from their POV why they react in such a way and don't blame them but it still hurts and it never gets less painful.
