I am grateful to all people who have accepted the intensity and extreme nature of my being. I tried to conform. Worked to behave. I have failed at even with professional help for over half a century. Any ideas how I can explain it without feeling such shame and failure?

Being human is freaking hard. I feel like I fail at it pretty much every day. The shame I think is a lie and deception. I think it tries to insert itself whenever we get real about ourselves. Being real is strength & being real is transparency, and maybe it’s also a superpower.

Clint I used to say things exactly like that and I know they're true and yet they seem so far away so I thank you so much for writing words so very similar to something I've said it got through my head thank you so much.

I want to thank you for what you said because as I read it I was reading myself as well. It helped me feel like some of these same struggles aren’t just me.

More evidence that we really need each other and we are all part of each other it's actually true humans are among the least biologically genetic diverse groups on Earth the great apes have more diversity than we do. You feel like a brother from another mother today:-)
