[quote=Anonymous]I was semi-punk/artsy. I found a good supportive community through these friends. Prior to that I was on high school sports teams which I felt were less good for my overall mental health as I was a bit more expressive and sensitive than the norm on the teams and didn't feel really part of that community despite always having been naturally athletic. On the teams there was a forced positivity that wasn't a good fit for me. I still ran/hiked on my own a lot after that as I had ADHD and needed the physical outlet. So on the surface I might have seemed to be a bit more depressed/angsty after the evolution to the new community, but inside I felt more aligned. I would say I encountered people with more trauma than me in this group than on the sports teams (or at least people willing to talk about their trauma) and I sometimes got drawn in. But overall I think the group made me more empathetic and in tune with myself.[/quote]
