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.

      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.
