    This has nothing to do with you being white and everything to do with some other personal issue. It sounds like self esteem/self confidence, but I’m no brain scientist. Thinking this has something to do with the color of your skin will surely lead down a dark path though. Maybe go see a speech therapist or the like. They might actually be able to help you with some of those perceived issues.

        Ah gotcha. Yeah I certainly saw some early red flags. That makes me feel a little better! Must be something that really bugs you if that’s what you focused on in the post. Hope you work through it or accept it as a personal trait. Good luck out there!

        Sounds like a neurodivergent person having to mask when dealing with neurotypicals. Masking is a kind of walking on eggshells.
