wow , i really relate to this. im sorry you have to go thru that especially since your siblings are making it worse , it seems. this isnt any advice but just know youre not alone. i literally feel the same way. i was and still am a quiet person & i never really socialized even as a child & it seems when i do talk ( even if its as simple as saying hello to my manager at work ) i get weird looks or people look at me like idk something is wrong w me . i literally considered that maybe i am autistic as well because of the social cues ( like you said ). i cant even fit in even if i WANTED to make friends and socialize , i literally almost can never relate to people at all & i always felt this way. i understand the feeling of thinking in some way ur going to mess up or sound rude or too loud. i get it.

@feelslikeionlygobackwards yeah. same for me, i literally would not speak as a child to the point where people thought i was mute lmao. i think if we both do not have autism, then tbh it was probably something in childhood that made us that way. idk about you, but i wasn’t really surrounded by people my age as a kid. i have an older brother , but when i was like 10 he was already like 20 lol, so we couldn’t really relate. i think especially us having ocd ( or really other mental illnesses ) makes it hard for us to relate tbh because many people just dont get it.
