I have imposter syndrome, both at work and in my relationship.

    I get called judgemental all the time. I have on idea why. I don’t judge anyone. And yet… they judge me as judgemental.

    It drives me nuts. I think it’s just my face and the fact I don’t smile constantly. It also makes socializing very difficult, because I only tend to get along with very secure chill folks… which there aren’t many of in the world. I often have people blow up at me for ‘being mean to them’ even though I have said nothing to them and didn’t even notice them.

      Random thought: find some YouTubers who have Autism, watch a few videos, and see if you can strongly relate. If you do relate, it might be something worth exploring.

        Yeah, that’s it. I’m clearly autistic. Even though I have zero symptoms of autism or ADHD and have been tested for it and had low markers… just like the ordinary average person does.

          It was simply a suggestion given that my neurodivergent friends have similar experiences. It’s good that you ruled it out though.

      You’ve heard of resting bitch face. I have angry dad voice. I always sound like I’m barking orders.

      I’ve had some people call me judgemental because I’m seeing them do something wrong/failing at something and I’m trying to show them how to do it right. A lot of people get very defensive about being taught how to do something.
