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

they need to make a new kissing emoji that’s more along the lines of 🥰 idk the winky blowing a kiss 😘 just doesn’t have quite the right vibes

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.

I skipped doing PT exercises for a day and my back is fucked up all over again. It's almost like PT is helping me or something

I think I come off as rude because my natural instinct is to say exactly what I'm thinking, without a buffer.

I've been taught how to use gentle language to not hurt others, but I slip up.

For example, I told this guy that I wasn't interested in being in a romantic relationship and he said "no problem, I'm cool with being friends. Let's get to know each other better."

I took him literally. I've been talking to him as a friend and ignored the flirting because I thought he would remember I'm not into him.

Today he asked me out in a roundabout way. Something like "are you willing to meet up. I find your personality charming."

The use of the word charming is what alerted me. Since I assumed we were on an agreed friendship basis, I said "Sure, but to be clear I'm not interested in a romantic relationship"

I'm now realizing that this is a very harsh thing for people to hear but it's my intention!

I don't want to apologize because I said before I wasn't interested but I failed to read between the lines and see he meant friends for now .

My mind is flashing back to all the times I've been told that what I said was rude. I feel awful

GO AWWWWAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY

LEAVE ME ALONE P0RN B0TS!!! STOP GETTING MY HOPES UP
