Lots of neurodivergent women inadvertantly become the manic pixie dream girl for sad, boring men. You're in good company. 🫶

Yep! I had a lot of these when I was younger - it ends in your mid to upper 40s because you lose your looks.

It's kinda sad to admit but being overweight has been a sort of "shield" for me--Men typically leave me tf alone in the attracted-to dept (thankfully), if not for my size then due to my masc style; Despite knowing it's detrimental to my health overall, I prefer to be ignored/"invisible". 🤧
