Let me introduce you : Shamey McNormie.

She grew by my side to remember me that I should be as "normal" as possible, to stop making waves and to be as small as possible. 
What does she mean by normal? She doesn't even know herself so she has to be hypervigilant so we stay on track.

All she wants is to protect me, because being visibly different can make me a target for malicious persons as I already suffered from it.
She wants me to be safe and adapted, but she does it in a way that is not allowing me to exist as myself. She tries to make me to hide, to make myself very very small so i don't bother anyone. 

What she forgets is that we can not be liked by everybody. That difference is great despite what some people can say. And hiding doesn't really help to be safe in the long run.

 

I thank her to help me notice when people are being malicious and to warn me. We will try to find better ways to stay safe and protected.
