Great story and lots of empathy for you as awkward social situations are a drag. Some people just will never get why we do and other are simply jealous. Let it go, have your fun, in the end they will see your best “you” happy, healthy and having fun. You don’t need to defend that to anyone, ever! Have a great life.
“Just as we split the body off from the mind, we split the child from the man—as if either could be separated.” This really spoke to me. Great post!
