I say 'I'm fine' when I'm definitely not fine

I laugh or smile at completely inappropriate moments when I'm nervous

I pretend to be busy on my phone to avoid talking to someone

I have full conversations with my pet as if they completely understand me

I apologize for things that are clearly not my fault

I will text someone three times before I'll make a one phone call to them

I change my voice when I talk to animals or babies

I've pretended to have read a book I haven't read in order to seem more educated

I involuntarily start talking in another person's accent when speaking to them for a long time

I've pretended not to see someone I know to avoid having to talk to them

I tip more than I want to because I'm worried about what the server thinks of me

I find extended eye contact extremely uncomfortable, even with people I like

I feel guilty saying no even when I have a completely valid reason

I apologise to end an argument even when I know I'm right

Receiving gifts or compliments in public makes me genuinely uncomfortable

I tell strangers surprisingly personal things I would not tell close friends

I am a noticeably different person around my family versus my friends versus my colleagues

I have enthusiastically waved back at someone who was waving at someone behind me

I scroll through my contacts when I feel lonely but do not actually text anyone

I physically cringe, pause, or have to look away during awkward scenes in TV shows

Saying my own name out loud in a formal setting feels briefly strange, like hearing a word for the first time

I feel personally responsible for filling awkward silences in group situations

I hate receiving unsolicited advice even when it is completely correct
