No problem! Your post was really interesting to read, so I felt compelled to reply

Hm. I can see how AvPD fits in - but regardless, I think that it's really good that you're being yourself. If the only way you "fit" in with others is to be someone you're not, then I agree. It's not worth it

It's also really good that you realize this, and continue making these decisions that SUIT you! That's a really strong decision that I still struggle with sometimes.
