    It’s not that bad for me, but fear of being perceived, fear of being know… It’s all a giant mess

      For me at least I think has is something like:

      If I’m odd and they don’t know me I’m just an odd customer. But if I’m odd and a regular than I’m an odd person they are thinking about a lot and that makes me nervous like I might mess up.

        Exactly this with me too. If they know me I have to hold myself to different standards and more small talk and stuff like that.

        I have been trying to force myself to go to the same places but I usually fail. The only thing that works for me is going with someone else.

        Honestly I prefer to be perceived as a little weird, because then you can be… A little weird without worrying about it.

        There isn’t really a what to what I’m afraid of. I’m not sure if it’s better or worse this way
