Jillian, what an inspiring and empathic piece you have written! Your candid examination of "personality masking" hits home for so many who feel pressure to hide who they truly are. How you have humanized this experience by sharing personal anecdotes resonates profoundly; your call for acceptance-particularly for neurodivergent community-is a breath of fresh air in a world where conformity often overshadows individuality; this piece serves as an important reminder to cherish unique qualities in everyone we come in contact with; thank you, Jillian! Thank you Jillian for this thought-provoking read and thanks again for this insightful read!
