Or when they’re like “oh no I don’t really get that…what? You’re so weird” while smiling. can’t get it mentally. But I can perceive the sensation. I get it. And I HATE IT

I dropped my mask and leaned into the alt style. It works better for me 🤷‍♀️

I’ve gotten “you amaze me everyday” and “you’re so silly”

But you amaze me everyday in the way of being shocked and surprised not genuinely you amaze me every day

My facial expressions are my own. I don’t really hold back my weirdness at all (just practicing on recognizing the appropriate time to say things.) I’ll compromise on things but I don’t do things I don’t want, like I’ve always been most awkward around my family and I’ll participate socially but after a few hours I’ll end up sitting or laying on a couch reading on my phone. I dress alt so people arent surprised when I’m a little creepy up front but I’m full scary friend now.

I don’t smile if I don’t feel happy. I don’t laugh if I don’t want to. I’m just me in my purest form and it’s working for me. Apparently masking made me seem even odder because it always seemed like I was playing a role and it was off putting. I also decided I don’t care if I’m disliked by people that aren’t my people. Like I’m ok with being a black sheep.
