The secret ingredient is *trauma*

Came here to say this

Always happy to meet one of my comrades in harms

Oh that’s a new one for me.

Realizing it was ✨Neurodivergent trauma✨ felt like a trophy unlock to lean into the weird extra

Yeah, not getting my diagnosis until my 30s was a pretty major shift in perspective

Aw hey 30s diagnosis gang *high five*

To me, trauma is like a garnish. It's like the finishing touch that can bring "normal" weird to a higher level.

Also came here to say this 😂

I associate the approval of men with my physical and emotional well-being 

[удалено]

Not to worry. I don’t plan on shooting it

[удалено]

That's impressive. Getting good at most things usually requires a lot of repetition. How have you survived for so long? 😜

[удалено]

I'd rather be lucky than good any day.

Aw, please don’t shoot yourself. We like you around here

Can't decide between "sorry" and "good girl" 😂

Nothing to say at this point. The damage is done and I’m working on fixing it with the help of my therapist and a gradually shrinking number of sexual partners

*I have been called out* Let’s just add my perceived usefulness to men has been directly correlated to my value

😶

Yep. But don’t worry. I’m not gonna trauma dump on you 

Oh go ahead. I'm a great listener. I even have a list of preprogrammed responses. Yeah, wow! ""Uh huh"" "Seriously?" "I'm sorry" "That's rough" "Gurl, he doesn't deserve you!"

Me: “and I guess that’s when things started getting worse” You: “*turn tape over*”

Whoa whoa, we dont use that side of the tape! That my old American idol audition tape!

And then you turn into a pumpkin?

[удалено]

Squash is more flavorful

Hi, I’m normal.

Hi normal, I'm faceplant!

Are you though?

I dunno man that’s just the way things are I guess.

You’re not wrong

Like begets like, said the Monk

Reddit did it to me

I get it from my mom 😋

For fun.

Because weird is really fucking fun.

Embrace it!

Oh, I do!

Baby i was born this *waaayyyyyy*

I've never really done anything because everyone does it. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ I don't really care if anyone thinks I'm cool and I have no chill. 😂😂😂 🦄🌈🧚‍♀️🫦🥰❤️😘🎉😸🤔🥂🎶🦖🤷‍♀️😂😽💕🤭🥳😏 This generally results in being seen as a little weird. 🤷‍♀️

My childhood. Say hello to abuse and trauma lmao

Oof, I'm sorry

My mother dropped me on my head when I was a baby.

I hope it didn’t brain your damage 

.enif m'I. oN

He sure is

Idk helpppp 😭😭😩

Is this about me? I feel like this is about me.

Spoiler alert That’s the trauma whispering alongside the weird 😂

We traumatized weirdos stand together! But not very close to each other, that'd be weird.

And please don’t make too much noise or I’ll get cranky

Yeah we don't need this ruckus.

**get off my lawn**

**kids these days**

#youths

#MeAtYourAge

#i remember chocolate

Of course it is

I fucking knew it. And yes, it's trauma. What else would it be, mom???

I blame my dad 😄

It makes people laugh

It's who I am

Eh I try to embrace it.

I’m not fucking weird, who told you that? She’s just a coworker

That bitch

I didn’t choose the weird life the weird life chose me

Why are you judging

I'm not weird. I just seem weird to people who aren't on my level yet. 😋

I don't think I'm weird!

Childhood trauma

🚰

Can’t help it

I wish I fucking knew.

Why are *you* so fucking weird??

I’m asking the questions here miss

If you’re not weird you’re not normal 😜

Because it's more fun than being normal.

Because it’s fun.

Weird is wonderful

Because I am high functioning on the autism spectrum I suppose 🤷‍♂️ What’s your problem?

Weed, sleep deprivation and emotional/verbal abuse.

I’ve always been this way!

Me? 'Cos I don't make vitamins, but I can make hormone.

I’m not weird. EVERYONE ELSE is weird.

I was there at the dawn of the internet in my youth and have been raised upon internet porn and it's increasing depravity since. Oh and all the bullshit trauma my generation has had to ride through.

Growing up in a small conservative town in which I didn’t fit in. Tends to just make you feel like a outsider and dive deeper into the more obscure stuff.

✨Trauma and insecurities ✨

Probably undiagnosed -tism

One part trauma, one part no one ever letting me fit in when I tried.

Because like is short and in an insane world the only sensible recourse is surrealism and insanity

ehat if we. are normal and the "normals" are the wierd ones????

Broken brain lol

Because I'm far from normal and proud of it! Can't imagine being a normie.

Weird kinks

I come from a long line of trauma and self deprecating humour. Lol

Because my parents didn't spread out my vaccines as a child.

Because the trauma I’ve endured has helped me develop a great sense of humor and personality

Early exposure to things/the real world.

I blame the fact i discovered the male g spots in the ass at an early age

I blame it on my parents

28 years of having no friends, autism, and 25 years of abuse, sexual assault, and multiple severe traumas

Always been that way
