Sort of, yeah. Actually I haven't told anyone. No one but my mom and one of her friends knows, I think. (Unless they figured it out themselves and are just being polite not bringing it up..) Besides like doctors and teachers and stuff, but they don't count. I'm not really ashamed of IT, exactly, because I know what I'm like and I'm not ashamed of myself. (Mostly.) I'm just.. I guess I'm ashamed of the label and its implications, and also of the way it's portrayed in a lot of the communities I'm a part of. (Like you're a whiny hypochondriac attention whore, mostly..) So I don't want to say it because just saying it, to some ears, can kind of sound like you're begging for attention or something. And to others it might sound like you're incompetent or ret*d.
It's all other people's perception of it. I don't want to have to worry about what they will think when I tell them, so I don't. That's actually why I keep my mouth shut about most things. D:
