Why do people act like they are scared of me.

So I’m a 20yo girl and sometime grown adults act like they scared im going to cuss them out. The first few times it happened I thought they were just isolated, random incidents but it actually keeps happening more. I feel like im being punked, I wouldn’t describe myself as a scary or intimidating person at all.

I’m literally short and underweight with a severe case of baby face. Ofcourse Ive thought maybe it’s because I’m pretty but I’m definitely not THAT pretty. Overall I look and act like your average 20yo girl. I admit, I am a metalhead. I have a few visible tattoos and I pretty much exclusively wear black but I hardly dress in an alternative way or look alternative at all.

Like I swear people act like they are afraid I’m going crash out on the smallest of things. At first I excused it as Michigan politeness, always saying sorry and all. But over the years I’ve had two people I’ve ever interacted with tell people I know that they are scared of me.

Then over the few jobs I’ve had over the years. I’ve had coworkers be wayyyy overly cautious and polite, tell me to calm down for no reason and things of that sort so fucking often.

What I’m most embarrassed to admit is that apparently my loved ones are scared of me sometimes. My little sister refuses to even confront me about the simplest of things and will go through our mother say how she feels. She insists she isn’t scared me of me and that she thinks I’m a good big sister but how can I believe that when she’s scared to even be honest with me? Then one of exes claimed they were scared of me but honestly they were actually being abusive towards me so idk if that was Darci of what.

I mean I guess I have a resting bitch face or so I’ve been told and I can be quite cynical. But overall I’m genuinely such a goofy, awkward ass motherfucker.
I’m not trying to gas myself but I really am so chill and pretty kind most of the time. I admit when I get mad, I can become quite mean. I rarely ever get mad.

This is even happening at my new job, I’ve never been angry or upset at all around my coworkers wtf.

I feel like I’m in the Truman show
