    One of the most frustrating ones for me is that people think I choose to have debilitating anxiety symptoms and could just turn them off to attend their event or a medical setting.  :|

    People also regularly assume that I must enjoy being at home (and by that logic, the Covid lockdowns) because I'm agoraphobic.  Not true at all, I wish I could be out experiencing all sorts of places!!


    On a lighter note, people that I've met in real life after chatting on forums for a while assume that I'm never going to shut-up, the reality is they really have to put in some effort to coax a few words out of me in the real world.  :D

    oh a got a few, the worst 1 is because all my issues are not viable, for example i have aspergers, autism, anxiety, depression, bipolar, adhd and ive been signed off long term for about 4-5 yeard and get annual assesments and they jut ask me or my parents why am i work shy or why are you doing what ou do as there is notihng wrong with you and your just lazy" on a lighter note i get told because of how i look and act that people think im in my 20s or 30s rather then 40 and i still get asked for proff of age now and again, also people never really no what the real me is like as i like to put on an act all the time and act as the comedian or joker as if u appear happy and  alaugh people will leave you alone and not bother or fuss you rathr then how something is wrong, people also think due to this that im succh a laugh and must be so popular when i only actually have 2 real freinds and never meet u or go out with people and always go places on my own and stay away on my own
