We can never be shy or socially awkward without people thinking we’re rude
I’m a Black woman, so I’m not sure if this affects Black men as well, but I hate when I’m just being my normal self and it’s interpreted as me being rude.
If a white woman is shy and quiet, it’s cute. A Black woman, though? You’re just automatically clocked as being a b****.
And I hate when someone actually takes the time to get to know me and then they’re like “I always thought you were mean”, like HUH? Because I was keeping to myself?
This is something I’ve dealt with my whole life and I hate being perceived. I feel like I could’ve made some cool friends if they actually gave me a chance. And I honestly think that might be why I feel so depressed all of the time.
On another note, I made a Discord group for anyone that just wanna come and talk about random stuff or real life crap without outsiders being able to peek in on it. I won’t post the link here just in case it’s against the rules, but feel free to message me on here and I’ll send it to you!
