Since this post posted in /c/womensstuff, a community that prohibits male participation, showed up on the front page of All I'm cross-posting it to a space where men can chime in and answer/discuss it freely.

This has nothing to do with you being white and everything to do with some other personal issue. It sounds like self esteem/self confidence, but I'm no brain scientist. Thinking this has something to do with the color of your skin will surely lead down a dark path though. Maybe go see a speech therapist or the like. They might actually be able to help you with some of those perceived issues.

I kind of forgot this was supposed to be about me being white dude, rather than just the "walking on eggshells" at work part, so it makes sense it makes no sense in that regard.

Ah gotcha. Yeah I certainly saw some early red flags. That makes me feel a little better! Must be something that really bugs you if that's what you focused on in the post. Hope you work through it or accept it as a personal trait. Good luck out there!

Sounds like a neurodivergent person having to mask when dealing with neurotypicals. Masking is a kind of walking on eggshells.
