stigma

if you are supposedly here to be supportive, how do you make such ludicrous remarks? it's so strange how a single label can change the way you look at me and cause you to come up with unreasonable explanations for my personality. you live with a delusional worldview, constantly creating more and more exaggerated drama. i've come to understand that i will never be able to change that.

but just because i went through certain experiences, does not make me a different person, nor does it explain my past or why i behave the way i do. i have always been--and still am--me.

as long as i stay centered in that truth, nothing you or anyone else may think or say will affect who i am.
