im in the perfect intercross between (lack of) social competency and neurodivergence to be just one of the most pathetic people my age. i've been told this by just so many people both to my face and behind my back that it's something i've just accepted. it wasn't something i wanted to admit to myself but the writing is on the wall. it's easy to make fun of me or find something to mock me for when you're at this uncanny valley of being completely socially incompetent like a heavily neurodivergent person would be but don't look the part. this just opens yourself up to just cruel mockery by people who want to feel better about themselves.
i don't know if it's my face, or voice, or personality or any combination of these things but chronically; i cannot be taken seriously. whether it's therapy, work, dating, social stuff. i remember an ex told me that before we started dating she thought i was a loser and pathetic. this was someone who i held in the highest regards even when we didn't even know each other yet. they told me out of anger of some stupid argument that they thought me as a someone to be mocked, like they were doing me a favor for tolerating me, that i was lucky that they even bothered to attach their name to mine.
i think that's a perfect microcosm of why im a failure of a person. there's just something about me that motivates others to establish that they are better than me, and to make sure that i know that. when my own suicidal tendencies is dismissed by therapists and those supposed to be close to me, it just makes me think they really do want me gone. im being filtered out.
