struggling with the concept of accepting and embracing my HFA.

How do you balance being yourself and coping which i take as acting NT?

How do you balance pleasing others vs pleasing one self?

thanks

I have found that as I have gotten older I am less able to keep up the "act." I'm polite and smile at people I pass, but that's about it. I figure people will figure I'm a dotty middle aged woman no matter if I act or not, so what the heck.

I'm not out to hurt anybody, insult, offend, manipulate and most definitely have no agendas, and have to trust that this will ultimately shine through...

Don't go about pleasing others. It's a trap!
