When I don't mask, people think I'm miserable or angry because my facial expression isn't acceptable. But being surrounded by a bunch of people who are making pointless small talk is exhausting. I feel like THEY are the aliens, not me.

I constantly feel like I am desperately button-mashing the video game controller that runs my brain during every single social encounter I ever have. It's like when someone doesn't know how to do any of the combos in Mortal Combat, so they just smash all the buttons and move the joystick in order to fight, except instead of trying to fight, I'm trying to Be A Human.

The person you see isn’t the person I am. And I’m so convinced that you’ll hate the person that I am, that I’ll die trying to convince you that I’m not me underneath.

Just say it's the same as when they lie in an indirect way.

EGO ANNIHILATOR :
Neurotypicals often mistake conformity for individuality and obedience for independent thought. They follow social scripts like they're programmed to do so, yet struggle to comprehend how some neurodivergent people can adapt their entire demeanor to accommodate almost anyone without losing their own identity. That's psychological flexibility they often mistake for inconsistency because they simply don't understand it.

My mask is a version of me I present to the world so the world doesn't run away screaming and freaked out by my brain.
