    I’ve seen it before. They don’t mask some behaviors that you have learned to mask. It feels like they lack self awareness about it and it is off putting.

    But then I realize it’s probably how I sound like to normal people too.

      Without actually saying it in so many words, my therapist has indicated that I probably don’t seem as weird to “normal people” as I think I do.

      I also wonder if they’ve deliberately dropped the mask because they feel comfortable with me (and I betrayed that by feeling like the little guy on the right)
