the thing about mental illness is that we know that we are perceived as difficult to be around/love and burdensome. we know that!! and a lot of our biggest fears, i feel like, revolve around being perceived as exhausting and/or burdensome to love and as a result, we are constantly making conscious efforts to not be perceived that way because as hard as it is for people to love us (and nobody is saying you have to - if you’re exhausted by us, please don’t, actually), it really is a hell of a lot harder when other people deem you as difficult to love because of things that are out of your control. it’s not fun
