Being female on the spectrum means wearing a mask for far too many. It's hard to be ourselves in public, around others, but we must. We must love ourselves enough to be ourselves wherever we are. We must be brave enough to try.
But theory and practice aren't always the same, are they? And neurotypicals can be cold, callous, and cruel.
I'm finally choosing to be "me." It's not always easier, but the more I try, the better it is. The healthier it is. Do I have autism? Maybe; they didn't diagnose girls when I was younger. I do share a lot of traits. For one, I have Sensory Processing Disorder, for sure. I'm as socially awkward AF. But my daughter is def an Aspie. I've seen her put the masks on. And I'm proud of her for choosing to grow into herself.
To hell with the masks - let's finally be free to be...us.

Never underestimate the power of a little positive feedback on another writer’s work. You could be the difference that convinces them to keep going or inspires them to write that next chapter. Spread positivity and support other writers ❤
Don’t underestimate the quiet ones, the ones who don’t always say what’s on their minds. Inside their heads, there is chaos. A beautiful snow storm of chaos.

it takes me 3-7 business days to process my feelings
I've noticed in different character-typing blogs that if a Ni-dom is a villain they will betuped INTJ. Why must all INFJs be nice, invisible and polite? Is this a stereotype?
Hi anon,
As phrased, this question is ‘when a villain is an Ni-dom, they always seem to be typed as an INTJ; why not an INFJ?’ However, it assumes the Ni-dom typing is accurate, and centers the INFJ in a very strange way, and the problem is more that probably most INTJ typings of villains are wrong in the first place; INFJs probably aren’t underrepresented as villains but rather INTJs are seriously over represented.
There is a character typing blog tendency to make villains INTJs regardless of actual type.This is mainly because of the erroneous assumption that only high Ni users make plans (so yes, a stereotype) and therefore the scheming villain always gets typed as a high Ni user.
There is also a belief that aux Fe is always sweetness and light when in fact high Fe is the best option for a mean girl type of villain, although a lot of those depictions are of Fe-doms and not auxes. I think this comes from the limitations of media; villains tend to be either the charismatic manipulator type (Fe-dom or occasionally aux Fi), the chaotic evil or mad scientist type (high Ne or Se), or the cold, commanding schemer (high Te, usually INTJ or ENTJ with STJ henchmen). An Fe-aux villain would probably be playing the long game and be good with things like whisper campaigns and slowly turning a community against someone, which works as a villain in longer form media (TV, novels) and especially as a mystery/thriller story vs. but is less likely to work well in your standard action/adventure movie with a more obvious, black-and-white morality sort of villain.
So: INFJs are not always quiet and polite, although in my opinion, their peak villainous state is actually outwardly very quiet and polite. Also probably at least half of INTJ-typed villains are actually a different high Te-type, and another quarter are various other types that people just slapped an INTJ type on because they don’t know what they’re doing.
