@Natalia So relatable. I understand why your day was so soured.
As an autistic who was always overlooked throughout my school years, I absolutely hated moving back to my home town. Affordable cost of living though. I keep running into people and I get a mini panic attack, go cold, and tense up, I can feel my heart beat harder. If they pretend to be nice it’s even worse.
Yes, it’s why I hate going back home, you end up running into everyone you don’t want to. I remember when I was working for years we got a new hire, one day I saw him having lunch with his gf who turned out to be someone who completely disrespected my mom, it just ruined my day
