If I didn’t act around people I’d just sit / stand there withdrawn saying nothing. But I’m getting tired of it.

I really do feel that I can be myself around people.
The thing is, sometimes, you should act.
At least I should.

My mi is difficult to hide. It’s obvious from talking to me. But I genuinely like socializing to some degree. The key is to speak moderately and not overwhelm yourself by trying too hard all at once, for me…

Unfortunately it’s getting harder to act in front of others.
So sometimes I manage and other times my “crazy “ begins to show.

Around my immediate family I don’t but I do carry myself a certain way around others. It’s sorta like a reflex in a sense.

In what ways does your “crazy” show, @Wave?
I’m lucky. I think I come across as normal most of the time. That is, until I say or do something inappropriate. Or, I start rocking back and forth unconsciously.

Especially social withdrawal.

yes I act happy-go-lucky instinctively as to not burden any random people with my crazy. It comes off as fake to anybody who cares enough to pay attention I fear. But you know what? I think minus the sza I am happy-go-lucky and that’s where I learned it, from before I got sick.
