First, I used to do those, and you should take what I say as at least partly subjective rather than objective. Second, I found (after a long, painful time) more meaning in expressing the pain and frustration than in hiding it from people. Third, it helps me be comfortable with who I am, even when others aren't, and in the end I decided that that was more important.

Fourth, channeling your own scariness makes the world bow to you, and you can quote me on that. Every badass and genius ever had weirdness that they channeled, but I don't mean "channel" like people think of channeling a spirit. I mean it as in channeling the flow of water. Find an aspect of yourself that can give you strength in a situation, and be creative about that. If necessary, think of the situation as a task, and your feelings and responses as tools.

Oh, yeah, I should probably mention that I'm fine with being crazy and keeping myself that way to accomplish my goals. Don't take this as sane
