Messed up my physics exam i guess. God pls. It's so fucked up when your whole life are your grades and you can't even good ones

Grades seemed like everything when I was in academia. You know what matters outside of academia? Networking and an open mind. Keep an ear open for internships and opportunities that interest you. Talk to your professors. Go to office hours. Build study groups. Attend professional seminars and events. Talk to people. Don't skip meet'n'greets. Build experiences. THAT'S the stuff that matters. Grades don't mean anything to anybody beyond your professor and other professors in that specific field.
Speaking as someone with a Master's in Science. It's easy to buy into that tunnel vision on grades being the most important thing (even beyond the actual subject matter!), but they're really not. Definitely don't attach your self-worth to them. I hated myself when a class I had to re-take was left on my transcript. You know who's asked about it or commented on it? Abso-fucking-lutely nobody.

Finally thought I was done questioning my identity after over a year and a half, and finally coming to terms with being Aroace, but nope.

I am doing an art commission for this lady, and of course she wanted a pet portrait. But I kid you not, she sends my the most grainy, far-away photo of her dog behind a fence and tells me to "Just infer" what it looks like.
I have asked her to send more images twice in person, and in an email, but she still hasn't, and I'm on a deadline. sigh

I am considering on leaving any and all aro themed social networks, I cannot deal with the constant invalidation and failure of knowing I am not a "true aro"

It's really hard, especially if you suffer any sort of mental illness, to not let the loud negative voices outweigh the supportive positive ones. I have found practicing mindfulness to be helpful with this. It helps me to stop and take pause and realize "oh this negative voice hurts more, so I put more weight on it, but [look at all the people on this post who have spoken against the negativity. Remember these circumstances in the past where people accepted me without fight or argument or interrogation, etc.]." It's really an invaluable skill that will benefit you in so many areas.
I have also made the tough decision to leave communities before because they were harming my mental health even knowing there were good parts to it. If that's what you need to do, that's 100% something you should do. But please think hard about if you're making this decision to help your mental health (meaning, you will also work on replacing this space with good self-care - such as self-validation regarding being valid as an aro - and concentrated efforts to support your mental health) or simply to further punish yourself (falling into the negative spiral of "well, I'm not wanted here, so I should be alone and not near anyone so I can't bother them or upset them or ever hurt anyone ever again with my mere existence").Best of luck. I wish you very well, and I hope you're able to accept that you're a true aro and that the random negative voices will become easier to shake off.
