Mimicry

JT over 3 years ago

I've done it for so long now (40 now) that I do it without meaning to. Taking on people's habits, issues, pain...

I just caught myself whistling quietly like my Dad after spending the weekend with him, even though I find it a super annoying behaviour.

How do I stop this!?

Do you mimic those around you without meaning to?

I try to fit in with whomever I am with but after finding I am Autistic I am trying not to do this so much and try to be myself, it is very hard.

I do the same, I feel this is normal, but I agree that to be true to ourself takes confidence that whatever happens, whether the situation accepts or challenges us, both are ok and we need not react or take it negatively.

Good luck, keep it up, stay positive
