I appreciate this post because it describes a lot of what I put pressure on myself sometimes to experience. Which is: having friends in real life, etc. People put pressure on me to be that version of normal that they want me to be, too. And it really stresses me out. I am sometimes sluggish looking or feeling, which is a side effect of my meds, most likely. And so sometimes I cannot socialize or sometimes I get lost for words, etc. Anyway, I try to cope. It's not easy.
