What cannabis taught me about masking

Masking is basically what neurodivergent people have to do just to act like neurotypicals. Like, you know how basketball games are horrible because the squeaking of the shoes makes your teeth hurt and then your teeth hurting makes your neck and head hurt and then you start worrying that you’re sick which makes you feel sicker which makes you really angry which makes you want to punch the person who brought you to this goodman hell hole in the first place right in the face which makes you feel so incredibly guilty that you just sit there like a dissociated scarecrow vacillating between angry god complex and absolute self-disgust, but you can’t actually do anything about the way you’re feeling because you’ve been trained your whole life to push down the things your body is signaling for you to do to regulate the intense emotions that plague you as a neurodivergent person living in a world that’s simply not built for you? No? Alright, neurotypical, this is going to be a weird ride. Yes?
