THEY HAVE INFILTRATED MY HOME

I get these too but they emerge my emojis

Google will sometimes make stickers for me based on what I'm typing if I put a question mark or exclamation point. Uhm, this one came as a surprise though:

No one has ever told me that the way I mimic their behavior is odd or offensive but I find it to be sometimes, especially if I start picking up on verbal patterns specific to certain ethnic groups. I'm aware that they can see a shift in my behavior and I'm afraid that it'll be taken in a negative way.

It also makes me question what my own personality is because I often just mirror others and adapt to their behavior rather than explore and exhibit my own.

Have neurotypicals ever been offended by your echolalia?

In my experience a lot of people have been surprised or offended by it since I was a child, and I had no idea why until I was in my late teens and realized that they think I’m making fun of them, or even trying to copy them on purpose. Like, no??? I just end up mimicking people I spend a lot of time with, especially if I like them. It’s usually involuntary, it’s a stim I often can’t control and a lot of the time it actually means that I like you and feel comfortable enough around you that I end up echoing your speech.

Have you ever looked at someone with facial hair and a long hair style and suddenly got a glimpse of the baby face hidden within? You can see through the mustache, through the beard, past the mullet and shag cut and see the canvas that it has been built upon.

And suddenly, you don't see them the same. You see the person they are hidden within the person they've become.

Unsettling yet beautiful

The only person allowed to play the guitar at me

There's a user called Erika Horn (@erikahorn.art) on tiktok who made a "duet me" challenge so technically impressive that all of the duets are exactly like this LMAO

My diagnosis has been updated from anxiety and depression to "unspecified mood disorder". Is there a funky little mascot for that?
