I just realize i have Aspergers and everything is so confusing to me. I was coping by walking around with a blank face and wondering why everyone else had blank faces when talking to me. People started getting really scared of me and crossing the street. Now im realizing i was holding in pain and physical emotion all these years because people said suck it up and stop complaining and it had a physical effect on my health and face.

Now im not sure what to do. Trying to reverse engineer my brain to think normal but im really confused alot. I guess i was getting by with masking techniques by reading people but now people are giving me back fear and blank expressions.

I've been here too. The blank-face thing creates this loop where you look neutral, people get uneasy, you feel uneasy yourself.


My way to break it is to add a tiny bit of friendly expression in default mode. Not always a full smile, just slightly raised eyebrows or a soft face. It feels fake at first but it made a difference for me.


You won't fake forever, just training a habit so it becomes natural
either diagnose it or stop larping wtf
how do i diagnose it? Go to the jews to they gaslight me? They said people with Asperger's struggle making faces, walking pattern, social ques. I literally only understood you had to match clothes by color at like 23 or something. I only started recognizing and readingpeoples faces a couple years ago

I always have a blank expression and find it hard to make faces because it seems to illogical and waste of mental resources

yea i got my first gf in grade school by raising my eyebrows. I know i looked like a retard but she kept giggling at me and she liked it guess. I havent moved my eyes in a while ig because bullying and not wanting to show emotion to be a target. The worst i looked over the years the more stiff my face has gotten and I realize now why my face is so deformed from not using it.
