catharticcruella:

I feel like I’m actually really “low-functioning”, but I can talk and act and be a catalyst and have deep (multigenerational!) relationships and be useful to capitalism so that disguises it when put together.

If that makes any sense.

There’s a lot I’m utterly pathetic at… that people don’t act like they notice mainly because I’m female and underweight, as far as physical things go. Lord knows what they think of non-physical things. That I’m a silly, spoiled crybaby I suppose.

I mentioned something about noticing something like this about you recently.  I forget what I actually said.  But it’s noticeable.  You’re someone who’s not as capable at a lot of things as you manage to look, and always barely cobbling things together on the surface so that people see more competence than is actually there.  Not that I’m calling you incompetent.  But I know this when I see it, and I’ve seen it in you for a long time.  It makes me feel less alone – you’re another person, like me, who has to climb cliffs and never has steady ground, and can fall very far when you let go.
