This happened a lot when I am younger. I'm 38 years old and it died down, but I still get weird stares, asking if I am okay, people acting if I am slow. I overheard one person ask another person if I am autistic. I want to punch them in the face and lose all hope in humanity. This is the reason why I don't chime in as much with stories, jokes, comments all which I LOVE to do. I feel like a fucking prisoner not being able to speak when I want. When I do at times I fear that I will lose the listeners or that they will feel bad for me. You just have to let that shit go though. They shown you that they are shitty ass people and you are far better.
