One of my peak autism moments in HS

[D. B. Gooner]

When I was a freshman in HS I really loved Gorillaz, both the music and the animations. I especially liked the "2-D" character. I thought the way he'd walk hunched over in the Feel Good Inc music video was the coolest thing ever.

So at school I thought I'd try out walking like this. Or even more hunched over than this, my jaw was pretty much at my upper chest level. I did it for 30 seconds and this "popular" girl who was always condencending to people walks up to me and asks:
"Are you okay? Do you need help?" and she did have tone of genuine concern.
She thought I was retarded. I said "Nah I'm great" and then never walked like that again.

I just thought it looked cool.

Don’t do things to look cool, don’t do things to appear

I used to carry an mp3 around with my favorite cringy tracks

I used to like gorillaz too and 2-D was also my favourite, never did this type of thing tho. I guess the closest thing was I tried to make my eyeballs black like his so I punched myself, I was a retarded kid.
