It's great to see you emerging Seesaw, and articulating how you feel! I can feel how difficult it is for you. Perhaps have confidence that the more you speak out internally and in "safe" places, the more strengthened those connections will become, until people enjoy your differences rather than feeling uncomfortable with them.

Thank you, @saidso! I have been still struggling with this but also went a found sagee spaces for myself.

I wanted to post more here but was kind of torn between trying to grow and move on and legitimately needing more encouragement and validation that my feelings are okay. So I appreciate your support at this moment!
