OK...I mentioned I started my new job and really enjoy it. But, why are people looking/acting towards me like I am almost a non-existent loser? I mean, it's mostly guys, and I feel kinda like a real 'outsider'...and I have that 'imposter syndrome'. Maybe I don't "look" the role? I am a big, chubby guy who everyone always seems to think I am a cop/security! And, I LOVE just being happy and kind, and the guys come off as tough and kinda mean. (Not to me, really). Maybe I should grow a beard? I look quite tough in one of those. I am a very deep "empath" type, and I read people very easily. I dunno. HELP!!!..lol... P.S. I told my boss about my Asperger's in an email yesterday, and explained that my high/awkward social anxiety prevents me from "showing my best side"...because I don't know if they think I am a moron..lol
