This is the most irritating part for me. I tried for most of my life to be normal and not only was my life miserable, I ultimately failed to hide my quirks enough to be accepted. Only by embracing my weirdness have I found acceptance, as people like “quirky and confident” more than “shy and awkward”

I’m trying to get to that point myself and stop masking so much! I feel that you are 100% right too, I believe people love authenticity.
When people see somebody who is relaxed and accepts themselves, they are more likely to be relaxed and accepting as well.
Thanks for sharing 💚
