try burping and then saying “oh fuck yeah that’s good” as you approach before you get too close. this way they know you’re coming and they know what you’ll smell like
They need a cow bell
Aye!!! More cowbell!!!
I have this too. It’s when you move too silent. I just start conversations by saying DO NOT BE AFRAID with the voice in their head. Can recommend.
why are you posting empty 4chan screenshots?
what? It wasn’t empty. There was, um, something about… hmm I don’t remember.
I think the problem is that
Um
What was I talking about again?
I have the opposite problem—I’m a strong impression making motherfucker. Strangers consistently approach me to say “you look like [insert famous person].” Acquaintances tell me “I never forgot you.”
And yet, nobody keeps in touch without a lot of effort on my part. I wish I knew how to transition my “I remember you” power into an “I want to be closer to you” power.
Ooor, someone had to “survive” their family’s bullshit and being unseen was the best way to do it. Then it became so ingrained in said someone’s existential fingerprint, that they’re now a ninja without even realising it.
You don’t need some tragic family background to be soulless creature wearing human costume.
Yeah I’m like this and it’s not really a trauma thing for me. I’m just autistic and ADHD which basically means I take advice too seriously and I have a bad habit of getting into someone’s field of view or in their way by accident. As a result of being advised to be less visible every time I got in someone’s view, I accidentally became invisible. It’s something I’ve been working on lately actually and I’ve noticed I scare people less often since I started thinking about it
