Hi there! My life is (objectively) stressful, so it affects me physically and mentally to some degree. However, sometimes others are quick to jump the gun and try to diagnose me with various conditions: anxiety, depression, autism, personality disorders, or just being slow or outright stupid. I knew it was very wrong as I don't match such descriptions, my experiences seem to be normal for an average person, and when I got a therapist, she also said it sounded incorrect and odd, she only said I did have trauma. But when I try to explain to the assuming folks that I am actually relatively fine, they either get angry or dismissive of my own opinion about myself. I know they try to help, but it only makes things much worse. I can't stop talking to those people, either.
I noticed also that many people "baby" me, probably coz I look and sound much younger and I oftentimes act cute. This could be one if the reasons, but I can't really change my face and voice, or my naturally flamboyant personality, so I am stuck.
Is there any advice about such situations?
