I think I finally figured out why I left social media and why I may never return...
the stigmatization, the use of words I identity with as insults...
As much as I may have cared about people, I have come to the conclusion that acceptance has been impossible for me to achieve... and worst of all it's during pride month that I actually experience this.
sorry npub1mewd58tz390gcnw0ml99alkzzgcuj2yg9tdsjwt45zga54rtsj8qketau6 (npub1mew…tau6), but I am thinking it's time for me to disappear from social media... I left twitter in 2010, I left Facebook in 2016, and I left LinkedIn in 2022.
I can't handle the trauma I already experienced in childhood that was normalized, I can't handle the use of my labels as gay, kinky, or autistic as insults... I'm reliving mental health struggles before I came out as #LGBTQIA2 #gay, #kinky, #leatherboy, #actuallyautistic, and #childfree. I do not have the capability to compartmentalize.
Seeing as people of the various identities that I may have I face issues of one from or another. It's just so hurtful during #pridemonth to be experiencing this. I feel like I want to seclude myself from society.
