I read something one time that said if someone is staring at you in public it could be because they’re trying to read your shirt, they just think you’re pretty, or you look like someone they know and honestly that’s helped me a lot-- people aren’t always judging you when they’re staring

Art interpretation in class today and the prof kept asking us what we “see” from the body language and what the subjects were thinking and I’m just sitting here like… what now

Sir I’m autistic I had to memorize what smiling meant
