How to explain it. By always talking to people by acting like them, I never really have to act as myself. So I don't know how to be myself. Like, I am very good at acting (real life conversations) by following a script and knowing my character, but you put me in an improv sketch (online socialization) where I have to come up with everything on the spot, including a character which is myself, and that's a disaster
Oh yeah I'm not happy about my socialization skills. It's useful for customer service but I don't want that to be my entire life. I'd love to make friends with my genuine self! But I have yet to, yknow, figure out how because my brain freezes after asking "how are you" and "how was your day". I'm amazed at people carrying conversations, how do you come up with all that...
I'm really good at masking! I just copy the person's speech pattern and vibe and it works out great! 0:D
I can't do it online because I can't hear like any tone or vibes from the person :') I have to "be myself" and oh my god isn't that a disaster lmao

it's uhh... kinda sad that you don't have your way of communicating and rely on copying others?
like I get it, taskmaster is cool asf, but sometimes you cannot copy everyone and be yourself
like, he refuses to copy moon knight's style cuz it's his own thing
what I wanna say is that people wanna connect with YOU, not a parrot who copies the other
