i struggle with change a lot. i like things to be the same. iā€™ve just taken a long bath and come to the decision that iā€™m not quite ready for this big emotional change yet. yet. life is hard right now, especially as an autistic person who already struggles with the world (1/?)
around them. i find it hard to understand others and sometimes myself. i canā€™t always identify my feelings. i have gained so much confidence in these last couple of months, and i am proud of myself for that. however, i think i announced that iā€™m something that iā€™m not (2/?)
quite ready to decide on. i was too confident. over these past couple of months, iā€™ve really come to terms with who i am as a person and i celebrate my differences. iā€™ve given up on pretending to be someone who iā€™m not and have started to be confident in my own, (3/?)
neurodiverse, unique brain. i know that iā€™ve never fitted in with my peers. i wasnā€™t really interested in the stuff that most people were interested in. iā€™ve been able to put a name to a lot of my differences which has actually been amazing for my mental health. (4/?)
thatā€™s what i tried to do this time. since iā€™m ā€˜not like other girlsā€™ i thought ā€˜oh wait, maybe iā€™m just not a girl!ā€™ iā€™ve been feeling non-binary for about a year. since iā€™ve been so open about everything else different about me these past few months i thought that it was (5/?)
time for me to be open to this and start changing things such as my clothing and pronouns. i thought that is was the last step to making me a happy person. it turns out that it hasnā€™t been. iā€™m not saying that iā€™m 100% not non-binary/ not female however iā€™m saying (6/?)
that at this time, i just want to go back to identifying as a female again. iā€™m not ready for the change. coming out to the internet made me feel so comfortable for about 5 minutes. then suddenly i got this feeling that iā€™m wrong and iā€™m not who i say i am. (7/?)
iā€™ve never felt more female since i came out as non-binary. right now, i would like to return to she/her pronouns. this may change again though, when i feel that iā€™m ready to come to a solid decision. i want to apologise. iā€™m so sorry. i was impulsive. i was too confident (8/?)
that my decision was correct. i was happy that i found something that fits who i am and acted on it so fast without having proper time to experiment and process. i regret saying ā€˜i am non-binaryā€™ so much. i wish i had said ā€˜i think iā€™m non-binaryā€™. iā€™m so sorry to everyone (9/?)
i might have offended. iā€™m just confused. i hope i havenā€™t disrespected the LGBTQ+ community. iā€™m so sorry if i have been insensitive and disrespectful. thank you to everyone that was here for me. thank you for all the advice you gave me. thank you for making me (10/?)
feel comfortable. thank you for telling me that you were proud of me. iā€™m sorry that iā€™m not the person that i thought i was. iā€™m so embarrassed. however, i have got to say if i never made that post, i would have never realised how female i do actually feel. i just wish i (11/?)
had thought about it more and worded it in a more accurate way. i thought i finally found out who i was. and maybe i am non-binary? who knows. right now i would really appreciate if i could go back to she/her pronouns. to all you nbs out there, i love you, i support (12/?)
you and you are so brave and strong. iā€™m so sorry if this offended you. iā€™m so sorry if you actually got to the end of this thread but thank you to everyone who has been there for me these past confusing 24hrs. my pronouns might change again and if they do, iā€™m sorry. but thank u
