This is the analogy I use to describe what masking feels like. Masking is often performing things that come naturally to others but needs to be manually forced by autistics and in the video I explain that I naturally don't make facial expressions and have to manually make them. There are so many situations where our brains are working 10x harder that others don't realize. I hope this is a good explanation to help others understand what masking is like💗 #autismadvocate #ActuallyAutistic#autistic

Mitali | Counselling Psychologist✨ on Instagram: "This is called emotional masking🙂‍↔️ Emotional masking looks like: • Saying “I’m fine” when you’re not • Smiling to avoid questions about how you really feel • Hiding pain to avoid being judged or misunderstood • Suppressing anger, sadness, or anxiety to keep peace • Feeling emotionally exhausted from pretending • Struggling to identify your own needs and boundaries • Feeling disconnected from your authentic self • Carrying everything alone beca
