I think I do, and it’s creeping people out.
Its mainly in my eyes and my flat affect.
I’m trying to smile more when interacting with others but it’s very difficult for me to do.
I also don’t want it to look forced or phony

People seem to think I’m very weird man… I go places and people just look at me like I’m some type of insect or something.
I use to think they were reading my thoughts but thinking about it I look weird as hell lol

I don’t look crazy. But I do avoid eye contact which probably gives it away that there’s something wrong.

I look ‘serious’ and sometimes absent.
Could be worse.

No I don’t.
Except for my arms that are filled with self harm scars from wrist to shoulder.
I have always been thinking what people might think about the scars and me.
If you saw me, a normal looking woman, with both arms full of self harm scars, what would you think of her? Would you even notice? Or care? I’m curious.

I would care. But I wouldn’t know how to react.

I also have a flat emotional side. I think it’s because of the medication.

Yeah the medication probably has a lot to do with it but a lot of my flat affect could be caused by my schizo side.
I recently had my dose lowered and my flat facial expression still remains

Got stopped once by a dude holding a beer can. He said “please have a drink with me, I’m feeling suicidal!”. I mumbled something like “sorry, gotta sit an exam shortly” and scrammed. It was the truth, yet I still feel bad about it, 20 years later.

Personally I don’t think so, although I was looking at my last facebook selfie and I kinda had the crazy eyes. They just looked kinda like psycho’y, idk

I cultivate an air of eccentricity on purpose. This way whatever slips past my masking is ascribed to my typically odd behaviour.

No one has said I do, but I do think I come across a little odd. That’s why I struggle very hard to make and keep friends.

Because it helps a lot of people.
There’s been bad reactions to every single SSRI out there.

I think my mannerisms, which also can include the way my physical face expression and my physical body language is, seems a bit bizarre

I’ve become quite self concious about the way I express myself. I think I come off as a bit odd, I also find it hard to smile as I don’t really feel them anymore. Flat affect has really changed my social behaviour

I can’t smile in photos, for example. I was already in a hebephrenic state at school.

I think I have involuntarily muscle movement of mouth etc from medicine.
