Next time you find yourself in that head space remember this. You are licorice. The same traits that people hate about you are the same traits that other people love about you.

The exact, same, traits.

The same behavior that you saw as annoying the other day is fun and engaging to the right people. And just like licorice, even if a majority of people dislike you, there will always be people willing to go to bat for you, who will love you and put their mouth all over you. Stop trying to change yourself to be more palatable. You're allowed to be a strange and aquired taste.

For some reason, I feel like I've caused people on the internet to dislike me, no matter what space it's in. Can people just tell I'm autistic from how I post? Do I come across as arrogant? Do I say the wrong things when trying to relate to others? Do I seem self absorbed? Do people think my art is fake? Am I annoying?

Why can’t I be likable
