It doesn't take much for someone to hurt my feelings and for me to spiral as a result. I've been told my whole life to get thicker skin but now I'm learning to validate how I feel. Learning that I'm autistic allows me to be aware of what is going on in my head when I feel hurt and for the first time I realized I'm nonverbal when I shut down.
