What is high masking as a individual?

- The ability to put a smile on your face and so everyone around you sees that you're okay and how well you can maintain yourself. However, you're struggling on the inside.

- Forcing eye contact when it's excruciatingly painful. This goes for forced conversations and being unable to disengage from the conversation and so the other person assumes you understand what is being said but you're just nodding your head for the hell of it because you don't want to appear stupid because you've been bullied and called horrendous names for being stupid in the past and not knowing better. This altogether is tremendously hard and I have no idea how I do it but I do it.

- Not really understanding how I've lived life for 28 years without a formal assessment/diagnosis for a when clearly something else is there and medical professionals never took me seriously all my life. I'm serious when I say, all the signs of a LD were there.

- Unsure what to say for the majority of the time.

- Replacing words that you don't know how to say with words that you know how to say.

It's just pretending one has it all together by perfecting the PERFECT image to the public when one is really just S-T-R-U-G-G-L-I-N-G.
