Not going to be too specific here, as I don't want to hurt or offend anybody. Just wondering if anybody else feel disconnect, anger or hurt when it comes to a group they're supposed to connect with or even represent? Could be related to your home country, diagnosis, sexuality or something else.
It's like I'm dealing with a constant "othering" from the majority, sometimes very small things that wouldn't mean anything by themselves, but it's tiring when it's a constant for years. As a premise, I want to defend my group, as they do face discrimination, but on an emotional level, it's difficult, as much of the worst treatment I've faced has been from people I'm supposed to share an identity with. Loneliness and stress are a constant, as I can't be open with members of my group, and I have so much to went about, which I couldn't even say pseudonymously on a forum, as it could be misinterpreted.
Not even sure where I'm going, but anyone else in a similar situation who have thoughts, advice?
