Being diagnosed with autism as an adult and finding out all my mannerisms were learned from anime is nerve wrecking.
How do I explain to the woman at the Safeway I just bowed to to apologize that i bumped into her that I am in fact NOT some racist culture vulture... I just learned everything about being human from every early 2000s anime i could get my hands on.
I literally bowed my head slightly, said sorry, THEN noticed she appeared to be east asian. She bowed back and smiled, but I absconded so fast.
I am mortified.
#safeway#hell safeway#please send help#or some sort of teacher to teach me how to be a normal american 35+ year old#is it me?#am I the cringe?#im over thinking this#am I tho?#bizzlelore unlocked#i literally bow all the time#and pronounce things differently than my whole family#in stressful situations or if i'm very tired I have an slight london accent because my mom pavlov'd me into one from like 5-16#i hate it so much#HOW DO I FIX THIS.
