You just don't "fit" in.
I applaud your courage to be who you really are, but I'm concerned that some people (with intent or not) are validating those negative beliefs. I refuse to do so.
It's your world
That you want to have a little pride in
Your world
And that's not a place you have to hide in
Life's not worth a dam

I refuse to validate your negative beliefs as well Anna. I'd like to thank Kindness in pointing this out. We are here to offer support, as this is a support forum. Yet, I can't help but see the lack thereof from some people. I get that you all have your own things to deal with, mental illnesses, traumas, and toxic people you deal with on a regular basis, but is it really doing anyone a lick of good to let all that negativity overflow onto somebody else already dealing with their own set of things? We all have enough emotional baggage as it is, there is no need to add to it in any way.
Anna, you're beyond brave, and super courageous. Know that there are kind and decent people out there who aren't going to judge you for who you really are. I, for one, would like to know the real Anna someday, if possible. Your real self is far more intriguing than the self you put forth to us most recently. I truly want you to know that there are kind, loyal, and loving people here who only want you to feel safe and loved and respected. Don't let those who are being negative, and harsh, skew that knowledge. I will always be your loving and caring friend. Always.
