nah i’ve genuinely been chopped before and I KNOWWW ppl like me more when i learned to dress better and just fix my overall appearance. i honestly love the way i look now (not trying to be egotistical promise. im just finally happy) but ive recognized the largest part of masking my autism for better societal acceptance was w my looks. doing the absolute most to “not look chopped” has given me better results in positive interactions/perceptions ig to say😭 he thinks he knows but he doesn’t KNOW
