Idk how they do it but I could just be minding my own business, not bothering anyone and somehow that 95% immediately doesn’t like me

Me asf but they do like me at first and then more interactions with me and they begin to see me as weird and off putting or they like me more

THIS. It feels like everyone gets a “spidey sense” or smth and immediately their demeanor changes. Of the 95%, the small percent that don’t clock it ON SIGHT are the ones who are fine at first but the second you open your mouth to speak? Odd smile, side eye, shoulders tense, dry responses. Like bro what did I do??? I simply existed in your general vicinity and all of a sudden I’M the Where’s Waldo that’s been spotted as the odd one out.

That’s how you find your people. Someone or some people very unique are out there and would love to be your friend and resonate with you. Don’t mask, just let them find you.

Personally I’ve given up masking for the most part, besides a bit at work and when necessary. It weeds out the shitty judgy people faster

Yeah but like there are better examples than a game that focuses primarily on trauma, like one is just being out of place, silent hill is just ptsd on steroids.

it’s the fog and the isolation. also, silent hill takes place in maine and i’m originally from maine. it seemed fitting
