I used to think I wore my emotions pretty openly and that people just didn’t give a shit until I was diagnosed with autism. Feeling like you’re expressing something you actually aren’t is apparently one of the symptoms. In my mind, my face is making the most cartoonist exaggerations of emotion, but since nobody ever says anything I have to assume I actually have a poker face on. :/
I have horrible social anxiety and (undiagnosed) agoraphobia. I’ve been told by many people that I have a perpetual RBF, and it makes me intimidating to approach. I just don’t like starting conversation, but I love having conversation with the right person. However me separating myself from people as much as I can makes human interaction difficult
