Just a question, because I understand you felt called out, but is someone asking you are okay calling you out? It seems a kind thing to do and caring instead. I once felt awkward at a high energy concert I wanted to be at, claustrophobic a little, and just the rush of energy I was not used to be being at then, when a girl asked me, 'if I was okay', I didn't feel called out I thought of that as being very compassionate and kind of her to even notice.

I used to say, "i believe " all the time. Until my brother called it out. It was like: Have you seen this or that? I believe its in the kitchen. When is john coming over? I believe at 9 o'clock. Has anyone called today? I believe Mike called and wanted to know about Friday lol i never noticed it until he called it out. I had to consciously make myself stop saying it.

often Im lost in my own thoughts ,and don’t give opinions easily ,ppl think if I’m following the conversation ,so I’m asked if Im okay

I'm often asked if I'm OK because I sigh a lot. I'm just breathing lol

I have resting sad face. Nobody says anything anymore but I used to get asked if I was okay a lot.

Oh yes. I grew up in New England. I thought I was coast to coast normal in my interactions with other humans.

I was wrong.

My husband tells me i mumble out loud too

Yes but it wasnt anything serious just the way i snore

oh gosh. i do that all the time. guilty as charged!!
