Socially when people talk and are energetic, enthusiastic, or any personality and I can’t match them with my blunt flat affect. I tend to stay quiet and let them express themselves and that’s all I’m able to do.
I’m really uncomfortable faking my response. It feels dishonest. I hate this.
This happens sometimes with my spouse. I can tell he feel let down that I’m not able to be excited. I feel really bad.
