I don't know how to react when people show me random acts of kindness. Anything outside of common courtesy makes me feel physically strange and uneasy, like I've somehow misled that person into considering my emotions worthwhile.

>>77271314Sometimes, yeah, but there's been genuine instances of it, and every time there's this heavy knot in my stomach like I did something wrong for recieving positive attention.
>>77271287Genuinely can relate to this. Even the common courtesy stuff makes me feel weird. when someone is legitimately nice to me, it makes me wanna lay down and dieI basically had no support growing up (because I am a man, possibly even a low-status one). It was like I didnt exist. Might have something to do with this
