Its really hard to interact with people IRL

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.

Yeah. I can see how people can think being flat as being chill.

Don’t judge a book by its cover… Lol… I also get it. Lot of thoughts about it but hard to escape the affect of blunt effect.

Or being cold. That’s what I’ve been told before.

I have trouble with interactions
