    Embracing it, leaning-into it:

    I’m not going to want to be socializing, and if solitude/isolation is the only way I can ever be happy, then why not accept that?

    I’m not attacking me for not-being-like-acceptable-people, anymore.

    I’m the way I am, & that’s fine with me.

    You want people who compromise their integrity for social-acceptability??

    Get other people, not me.

    Despise me honestly, instead of “liking” me for my rotted-complaisance, which I’m eradicating from me, but “acceptable” people can’t afford to compromise.

    Honesty/integrity is worth more than being “liked”, to me, now.

    Isolation isn’t bad, actually…

    It takes a few years to deprogram all the social-codependency-programming, but it’s entirely doable.
