Im a 34 year old guy. I get visibly Abe mentally nervous around people. But this is men “and” women. I mean that part shouldn’t matter. But that’s the issue as people start to judge. So some women think I’m creepy while others (men and women) think I’m gay. All this while I have no intentions in that was whatsoever. It’s mostly the awkward eye contact, nervousness and stiffness in my movement, or how I sit or stand because it’s hard at times to know what I should be doing with my hands while in the movement. It’s the worst thing to go throughput every day. Very disturbing and awkward. Being nervous or even just looking nervous, makes people a around me uncomfortable. Like I will do something to them. 

Today though it crossed the line. We just had our 3rd child and at the hospital some of the nurses thought I act gay. Just by what they saw of me. I over heard them saying “he’s gay” a few times, then word spread in the staff and people were giving me weird looks. Sometimes start to giggle as  I’m walking away. One nurse who was assisting us during shift, well I ran into her off shift, I waived and said Hi, but she made a nasty face and walked right by me. My marriage was arranged in my culture, so maybe they think I forced my wife to marry, I dunno. I was the ward joke, or creep, or both at once.
