Lacking self-compassion hurts you. And I feel like if accepting someone hurting themselves isn't very kind to that person. It basically involves not caring about their well-being. If you really care about someone, you won't want them to hurt themselves.

I don't mind being autistic

but then I am not always social by nature, don't mind being quirky and don't mind not having lots of friends

I don't think id cope well with being too busy socially

I get confused a lot by people

but I am what I am and don't mind being me


I feel like this should be on a framed poster, exactly the way it's typed.

I digress...
