Family lie to you?

Hi! I'm also drunk and dumb!

My family loves to deny any thing that could possibly be wrong with me, and I'm obviously just being dramatic in their eyes. I've suffered with tourettes since i was 5 but they still insist that I'm just like making it up or something. When I found out about how autism effects women, I brought it up to my mom and she literally ignored me, which is worse than just saying, "No you're definitely not autistic." I got support from my sister who has BPD, so at least I have some family support. But, I feel for you. It's annoying when your own family denies the struggles you face everyday.

Also, don't feel bad about being a virgin. I think that the pressures you face are similar to the ones I faced. I am a woman, and it was nothing but criticism for being sexy and having sex. I believe that men face the opposite pressure, as though it's wrong to not have sex as a man. I totally understand why you would want the love, closeness and companionship of a woman, but I hope that you don't feel bad because of societal standards. There's nothing wrong with being a virgin, unless it's something you want to change for yourself.

Sorry, i'm just also drunk rambling, and I have a soft heart for anyone who feels bad about their sexual experience or lack of sexual experience. I hope you won't be too hard on yourself.
