General on Yik Yak | 22 year old black guy here. I can’t stand it when i’m speaking to a white person, and then they start changing their speech just because i’m talking with them. They shift from their traditional way of speaking to using AAVE and it’s so damn annoying.

it's called mirroring, it's a subconscious response of the brain and it shouldn't bother you that means they enjoy being around you

i get that, and i don’t mind it necessarily in situations like that. i’m more so meaning when they do it pre formatively, and it’s forced in a way. You definitely can feel it

i love that you dwelled on that for exactly 43 minutes and then typed another response 😂 let me try again- if you understood human psychology and had a bit of compassion, it WOULDN'T bother you.
