Lt. Commander Data understands having a complicated relationship with gender but presentation being valid. Gender presentation, and its relationship to one's gender, is a nuanced thing, experienced differently by different people. If you choose to present like one gender but identify with another, or present like one gender and don't identify with any gender at all, that is just as valid as people who present in the traditional manners of the gender they identify as.

Data understands being physically assaulted by a family member. He knows that it is a very difficult thing to go through and to deal with the repercussions of. Assault is a traumatic thing, and can be worsened if the person who assaulted you is a family member. Please remember that you did not deserve to be assaulted, and remember to stay safe as best as you can. He hopes you can get out of this situation soon and safely.

Data understands feeling alone and unwanted by friends and family. He knows these are very difficult feelings to have, and that feeling unwanted or alone by people who matter in your life can have a very negative impact on your well-being. If you feel it is a good option, try reaching out to the people in your life who matter to you. No matter what, try your best to take care of yourself. Show yourself some kindness, even when others might not. 

Data understands what it is like to never find your friend group, because you always get forgotten or left behind. This is a difficult feeling to have. You can feel very alone and alienated when you feel left behind by people you considered to be friends, or even by people who you just hoped might be your friends one day. It can have a negative impact on the way you think about yourself. But remember, just because none of your friend groups have worked out so far does not mean they never will. Just keep reaching out, and do not give up on yourself.

Data understands being scared of people lying to you about how much they care about you. It can be a truly frightening feeling to think someone cares about you less than they make it sound, and it can bring out feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and self-doubt. But remember that one of the reasons you are scared these people are lying to you is because you care about them, and want them to care for you, too, and caring so much yourself is half the battle. Sometimes you must assume that you are cared for, and extend that trust to others. Because at the end of the day, even if these people are lying to you, that does not mean you did anything wrong or anything to deserve that. Be kind to yourself. You deserve to be cared about.

Data understands feeling really sad and crying over the death of a fictional character. He knows that despite this character being fictional, their death can still impact you, and it can be really sad. Try to do something to cheer yourself up, even if it is something small. He hopes you have a better day tomorrow. :)
