What's the most baffling thing about neurotypical people?

Gyrre:
Anyone else having trouble with reconciling that they're considered physically imposing despite having intellectually knowing for a while?

hedgie:
Considering that physically, the QC cast member I most closely resemble is Elliot, yes.  I tend to quietly loom, and have spent quite a bit of effort trying to seem “smaller” and less threatening.

Gyrre:
I do admittedly find that I sometimes hunch my shoulders too. Partly to keep from knocking things at elbow height over[1] and partly to seem smaller, high five of understanding on the latter.

But, the two of the things I got made fun of and bullied for growing up[2][3], I never expected to ever be considered intimidating. So it's still weird to see people flinch away from me despite being short.

[1] It seems like just about everything on a counter is at elbow height at 5'5".
[2] Being short since forever. Then, my weight/build since middle school because I started getting pudgy and stocky. I'm now 5'5", 222 lbs and have to wear a 2XL for my shoulders width.
[3] And my ADD along with my then undiagnosed ASD.

[Previous response deleted because it probably came of rambly and weird in retrospect. Hopefully this one makes more sense?]

As a tall, cis white man - I have been wrestling for this ever since I learned what feminism actually was in the 2010s
