Blending In

Post Reply New Topic

Whenever I socialize with people on the spectrum I don’t fit in because I love wearing makeup, getting all dressed up and have girly interests. I seem to blend in better with NTs than people on the spectrum.

I'm kind of in the middle...I see makeup as a fun art project for my face if that makes sense, whereas I get the impression many women see if as necessary before anyone can see you. And my style varies between plain ladies shirts, very girls outfits, and sometimes even men's clothing (it is SO MUCH MORE PRACTICAL!).

But yeah, I have a hard time with people who either see makeup as required at all times or as some evil, oppressive burden from the patriarchy or something.
