In what way do “normies” stiff you out and realize you’re a fraud ?

[Journeytoletgo]

Is it me or am I just paranoid? Those normies can tell by your behavior socially whether or not you followed the genetic lottery script (social in middle school and high school and partied) and then became social in Uni with first relationships moving up the social latter. They can stiff the trauma off of you, am I paranoid or am I placing too much superiority of them over me?

I mean I was an outcast due to my looks and skin disease and my first relationship was horrible and I was manipulated now I'm traumatized they sniff it off of me like fresh steak off a plate.

I think they definitely can based on how naturally you respond to subtle social cues.

Also most people have pretty similar life cycles and relate to each other based on that. Example: I imagine there's just a certain "feeling" to that period of your life where you're settling into your first job after university, contented but maybe a little disillusioned as the excitement wears off. A lot of people can relate and make jokes about it.

But for those of us who've fucked up every state of life, never fit in, and don't really have a natural/normal life cycle, we can't relate and aren't in on it.

Bumping this thread as I think it can bring about interesting input.

Body language tips people off. I am clueless on this but I'm sure you can do your own research if interested.

People want to talk about relationships, families, careers etc. When I respond with awkward silence because I only have horrific stories to tell on all those fronts, it doesn't go down well.
